Instagram also lets you post videos to the social feed, which is something VSCO currently doesn't offer. As a social platform, Instagram has the upper hand here. Instagram's live and story options have proven immensely popular, and neither of those are present in VSCO. Instagram's filters aren't bad, but there's simply not as many options. If you dish out the money for the subscription you'll get a pretty big variety of preset filters that you can then refine through VSCO's editing software. VSCO's film emulator filters can't be beat by Instagram, though. If you enjoy the editing capabilities of VSCO, you can just edit your photos there and then post them on Instagram. I personally don't know anyone who uses the VSCO feed, but plenty of people use the app for its photo editing.

Most of your friends will probably be using Instagram as far as social feeds go.

Any desktop photo-editing software worth using has a subscription price anyway. If you want more editing control over your photos, the VSCO X subscription might be worth it to you. VSCO is definitely aimed at photo enthusiasts, while Instagram is a casual way to keep up with your friends and their lives. That way, you get the editing capabilities from VSCO, and the social reach of Instagram, an app which most of my friends and family use. So, as a compromise, I edit my photos with VSCO and post them on Instagram. However, I don't personally use the social feature of VSCO.

That's simply something that doesn't work as well on Instagram. I'm not a professional photographer, but I've used VSCO for years, and I use it when I'm on the go and don't have the time or ability to use my desktop photo editing software.

VSCO simply better suits my needs as someone who enjoys taking and editing photos as a hobby. However, on face value, I think VSCO is the winner here. Instagram is a more powerful social platform, while VSCO is a more powerful photo editing tool. It's hard to recommend one app over the other, as they're somewhat aimed at different needs.
