FastDL is fast (it's right there in the name). ReelGrab is fast too, with fewer ads and a paste box that doesn't move around as you scroll.
FastDL is a perfectly good downloader if you can tolerate the upsell flow. We made ReelGrab for the people who close those popups every single time.
| Feature | ReelGrab | FastDL |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark on saved files | Never | Yes, burned in |
| Account or signup required | No | Pushed for premium tier |
| Logs the URL you paste | No | Unclear, no policy |
| Reels → MP3 (audio extraction) | Yes, one chip | Not supported |
| Carousels as a single zip | Yes | Slide-by-slide |
| Ads on the converter page | No, only in the footer | Multiple ad units per page |
| Works on mobile browser | Yes, designed for it | Yes, but cluttered |
ReelGrab wins on calm UI and privacy posture. FastDL wins if you specifically want a paid tier with batch downloads — that's something we haven't built.
