# InstaSize vs Squarify

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squarify at 100% against InstaSize's 58%. Squarify also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). InstaSize's advantage is ratings volume (327K vs 3) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstaSize sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Squarify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Squarify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaSize has 327K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of InstaSize's written reviews are positive against 100% of Squarify's.

InstaSize ships an update every 10 days, Squarify weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
