Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FastCaller at Free against Instacall's $5.99. FastCaller also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Instacall's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
