InstagramFetch vs FastDL

FastDL is one of the better-known Instagram downloaders, and people often ask how ours compares. This is Rajiv from InstagramFetch, so I'm biased. I'll stick to facts.

Both work in a browser with a pasted link. Neither should need your Instagram password for public posts.

For FastDL, the table says "check their site" wherever I'd otherwise be guessing at features or limits that may have changed.
