Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Instagram at 4.7 against 原片's 3.4. Instagram also leads on ratings volume (30M vs 30) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). 原片's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Instagram sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. 原片 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Instagram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instagram has 30M ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Instagram's written reviews are positive against 36% of 原片's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Instagram ships an update weekly, 原片 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
