# InstaPDF vs FlowVella Presentation App

The clearest difference is rating: InstaPDF at 4.9 against FlowVella Presentation App's 3.8. InstaPDF also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 33). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstaPDF sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and FlowVella Presentation App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InstaPDF holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaPDF has 1.1K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of InstaPDF's written reviews are positive against 66% of FlowVella Presentation App's.

InstaPDF ships an update fortnightly, FlowVella Presentation App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
