The two products differ most in how a reader consumes them. Dino News is built around full articles with categories, tags and an editorial hierarchy, which suits a publication whose readers arrive to read. InstNews is built around a swipe-up short-news feed with an ePaper edition, which suits an audience that checks headlines several times a day on a phone.
Publishers frequently want both experiences and should still choose one to lead. A regional daily moving its print edition online usually leads with the ePaper and article portal; a digital-first outlet chasing younger mobile readers usually leads with short news.
Dino News carries a fuller editorial pipeline — draft, review, approval, scheduling and version history with author, editor and admin roles — which a newsroom of ten or more needs and a two-person desk finds heavy. InstNews keeps publishing lighter so short updates can go out in minutes, with the newsroom controls still restricting who may publish.
Match the workflow to your staffing rather than your ambition. A process nobody has time to follow gets bypassed, and a newsroom without review stages struggles once the team grows past a handful of contributors.
Both support advertising placements and both are self-hosted with complete source code. The practical difference is distribution: InstNews ships an installable progressive web app with push notifications for habitual return visits, while Dino News synchronises published articles to its included Android reader application; an iOS build is optional. Decide by where you expect your repeat readers to live.
