# InstaSize vs Batch Resize

The clearest difference is ads: InstaSize at none against Batch Resize's shown. InstaSize also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (325K vs 507). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstaSize sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Batch Resize sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for InstaSize against 4.6 for Batch Resize. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaSize has 325K ratings behind it against 507, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 58% and 59% positive.

InstaSize ships an update every 10 days, Batch Resize every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
