herascrape vs Data365
Data365 returns Instagram data through an asynchronous job with 1–5 minutes of latency (trigger, poll, then fetch); herascrape answers the same request synchronously in about a second.
Data365 sits in the “multi-platform social data apis” tier. One API across many social networks, with Instagram as one target among several. Billed in units or credits that vary per endpoint, so the true per-call price is rarely a single number.
