Source: 30dB.com – VSCO-vs-Instagram
Photo editing app VSCO claimed its 1 millionth paid user earlier this month, just over a year after launch. For $20 per year, VSCO X offers access to its free editing suite, exclusive tools, and tutorials. Instagram still dwarfs VSCO, with more than 800 million monthly active users, but the newcomer is making inroads with one key component of Instagram’s user base: People under the age of 25 make up nearly 75 percent of all VSCO users, according to Business Insider. That could be what is driving VSCO to beat Instagram on other platforms as well. VSCO sees 68 percent positive opinions across social media, compared with Instagram’s 60 percent positives. Of course, millions more are talking about Instagram. Although VSCO is a welcome newcomer to the social media game for many, Instagram is probably safe in its position as the king of selfie apps, at least for the cyber moment. –Hugo Guzman
