Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: InstaSize at freemium against Square Sized's subscription. InstaSize also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Square Sized's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. InstaSize sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Square Sized sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InstaSize holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaSize has 327K ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of InstaSize's written reviews are positive against 61% of Square Sized's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

InstaSize ships an update every 10 days, Square Sized every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
