Not sure why people keep comparing these apps.
Snapchat is a much more person to person app whereas Instagram is a person to world app.
Not a surprise that money would go into instagram.

- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoSnapchat started out as person to person app but at some point decided they will become person to world app (via snapchat stories), and it was doing well, to the point where most users use the stories feature more than the 1:1 feature. Then came Instagram and ate their lunch. Now they can't go back because they have already IPO'd with the ad-driven business model (instead of somehow capitalizing on the ephemeral nature of the medium, which would have been much harder for FB/Instagram to copy). So yeah, this is why people keep comparing these two.
- erikb 9y agoBecause both fight for the same audience: everybody. Whoever wins the game for everybody will beat the other and move it to a side corner. A little like FB and G+. Do you know anybody on G+? So even if it's better for 1:1 you can't use it, because the other 1 is not on G+. And currently it looks like everybody's betting on Instagram killing Snapchat in that battle.
