InDown is one of the older Instagram tools. ReelGrab is newer and built for mobile thumbs first.
InDown has the seniority. ReelGrab has the polish. Both do the basics; the differences are in the edges.
| Feature | ReelGrab | InDown |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark on saved files | Never | Yes, burned in |
| Account or signup required | No | Optional, pushed hard |
| 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 | Pre-roll + interstitial |
| Works on mobile browser | Yes, designed for it | Yes, but cluttered |
If you've used InDown for years and it works, no need to switch. If you're picking fresh today, ReelGrab is calmer.
