Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Instarchive at none against InstaVault's 3. Instarchive also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). InstaVault's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
