A comparison between Facebook Vs Instagram

The number of users

Instagram has less number of users as compared to Facebook because Instagram came a bit late than Facebook and people are not that much active on Instagram as they’re on Facebook. You will find more of your friends active on Facebook. So, the use of Instagram is not that much prominent these days. We hope that people will give Instagram a chance soon.

Winner: Facebook

Demographics

Mostly, the young generation is active on Instagram. They appreciate the concept of Instagram, whereas Facebook has an equal number of active users of all the age groups. About 55% of the users on Instagram are between the age group 18 to 29. While on the other hand, 74% of the Facebook users check their accounts daily. If you want to advertise your business, do it on the basis of platform and the number of active users. You should do the ad for the youngsters only on Instagram and all age groups ones on Facebook. Overall, Facebook provides a better reach than Instagram.

Winner:  Facebook

Engagement

When it comes to the level of engagement, Instagram takes up the scale. The same brand, posting the same pictures on both of the platforms will give you a visible difference between the likes and the number of shares for that post on the two platforms. Instagram will rule over Facebook in this context.

The comparison shows that Facebook has the number of users, but Instagram has better statistics in engagement and content sharing.

Winner: Instagram

Assessing platform strength

Instagram is all about sharing pictures and videos. You can publish a short video of about 15 seconds to a larger one up to 1 minute. It gives your followers a direct message and concept. In contrast, Facebook has a lot of variety and features. You can choose that which platform will best suit your posted content.

Winner: Facebook

Privacy

Facebook provides you more privacy options. But on Instagram, you only have two choices, public or private. So Facebook wins over Instagram when it comes to Privacy.

Winner: Facebook
