# Easy Grade vs Insta

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Easy Grade at 82% against Insta's 0%. Easy Grade also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). Insta's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Grade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Insta sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Grade holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Easy Grade's written reviews are positive against 0% of Insta's.

Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, Insta every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
