Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sneaker Crush at none against Instock's shown. Sneaker Crush also leads on ratings volume (120K vs 15) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Instock's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Sneaker Crush sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Instock sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sneaker Crush against 4.7 for Instock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sneaker Crush has 120K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Sneaker Crush's written reviews are positive against 75% of Instock's.
Sneaker Crush ships an update weekly, Instock every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
