Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Finsta at 93% against Relay's 47%. Relay's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 242). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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
Both are free to download. Finsta sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Relay sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Relay holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Relay has 6.7K ratings behind it against 242, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Finsta's written reviews are positive against 47% of Relay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Finsta ships an update monthly, Relay every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
