Reels, posts and carousels
Save Reels, single posts and full multi-image carousels, kept grouped as a set rather than split apart.
Instagram hub
Instagram archiving for Reels, Stories, posts, and creator backups.
Instagram is not just another one-off download problem. Stories expire, creators delete posts, accounts change status, and brand receipts can matter months later. This hub ties the Instagram pages together.
On Instagram
What StreamStash does with Instagram.
Stories expire and posts get deleted, so Instagram is built around keeping a durable local copy without leaning on your account.
Stories and Highlights
Capture Stories before they expire, and archive Highlights straight from a profile.
Whole profiles on a schedule
Follow public creators and StreamStash keeps new content in sync automatically.
Public monitoring without your login
Public creators are tracked without using your logged-in account, and keep going through Instagram cooldowns.
Anonymous-only mode
Deliberately rest your account while public monitoring carries on in the background.
One library with everything else
Instagram sits beside your other platforms, searchable and de-duplicated across creators who cross-post.

Quick answers.
Is Instagram on Free?
No. The app tier definitions place Instagram on Personal and Power. Free includes TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Twitch.
What does Personal add?
Personal adds Instagram, Threads, Telegram and Kick, raises feed and monitor limits, and keeps the local StreamStash library model.
Does Power add more to Instagram workflows?
Power adds AI search, deduplication, identity matching, and all remaining platform categories, which helps when the same creator posts across multiple sites.
