Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: InstarVision at none against Garantix's 1. InstarVision also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Garantix's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
