Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Renew at 5.0 against Instantly AI's 2.9. Renew also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Instantly AI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
