# InstaFlix vs Couch

The clearest difference is rating: Couch at 5.0 against InstaFlix's 3.9. Couch also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and ads (none vs shown). InstaFlix's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstaFlix sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Couch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Couch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaFlix has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of InstaFlix's written reviews are positive against 100% of Couch's.

InstaFlix ships an update every 3 weeks, Couch every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
