Hey honeys! With staying home a lot of people are on Instagram and really utilizing the Instagram Stories feature. You may have seen an Insta Story with very cool graphics or a nice color scheme and wondered how they did that! Well, I created a list of the best apps for creating beautiful Instagram Stories. Great for both personal and business uses!
Over
This app has everything you need to make gorgeous aesthetically pleasing stories for your Instagram. They have both photo and video templates to use to make your stories better than before. You can create those popular fill in the blanks for your stories too! They not only have Instastory templates but Pinterest, business cards, Youtube and Facebook templates as well. They have a free plan but to get access to the PRO selection you can do the annual plan for $99.99 or $14.99 monthly!
Unfold
This is strictly for Instastories (obviously you can create for whatever your heart desires) and have easy to use lay outs. Unfold has ton of templates to use for free and offer free downloadable templates too. You can buy templates for around .99 cent to $2 or purchase the Unfold Membership for $2.99 monthly or $19.99 annually. It is the most affordable one too so points for that!
Mojo
Now this app right here is the ONE! This is perfect for creating those animated Instastories you see all the time. They have surprisingly a lot of free templates for you to choose from that are completely customizable. And the graphics too. whew, I love this app so much I could cry. Animated stories are so fun and interactive so I’d recommend to start using them sometime in your stories. They offer Mojo Pro at $9.99 monthly or $39.99 annually. Just search Mojo in your app/play store!
Story Chic
Story Chic offers an array of beautiful layouts for animated, collage videos and static Instastories. As I said before I’m really a sucker for some quality animation and they have some really nice ones for the free! They have a monthly membership for $9.99, annual for $19.99 and a Lifetime VIP for $34.99. You receive unlimited use of all premium features and new templates weekly. Available for both Apple and Android users!
Clay
Clay is a minimalist’s dream! You can create beautiful and elegant stories with their templates. A lot of their templates contain earthy colors but they do have the option of customization with colors that may suit your brand. They not only are useful for Instagram stories but also highlight covers, logo, post, wallpaper and quote templates too. Clay only offers an annual membership for $19.99 a month! You get to unlock all premium 500+ templates, access to new templates daily and 30+ fascinating fonts. Unfortunately this app is only available for Apple products, sorry Androids!
I hope you enjoyed this list of the best apps for creating beautiful Instagram Stories. Let me know if you use any of these apps already or have some other I should look at!
I also hope you all are staying safe and keeping in mind of those tips I laid out for you in this post!
stay sweet,
Aysia B.

I need to step up my Insta story game and these apps will help! I’m leaning towards trying the Mojo one! I wonder do any of these have a desktop version available as well?
Jasmine McRae
Mojo is getting downloaded to my phone right now! Looks so cool, although I’m sure I’ll be rubbish at using it at first!

Aysia,
This is fantastic.
Instagram keeps evolving – and looking forward to them having inhouse apps that are within the reach of startups and small business – with tight marketing budgets.
Check out Combin too!

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of any of these omg but my IG stories is really about to go off bc of this! I’m about to download them all.
Ffion
I never knew any of these apps even exsisted before I read this post, it’s amazing so many of these apps have now started popping up as demand for pretty instastories sky rockets! I currently use Canva for all my designing needs but I’ll have to check these out.
callmeaysiab
FfionYes Canva is one of my faves, but there’s so many other options too!
Lisamarie
I absolutely love this post! This is literally one of my favorite posts I’ve read! I enjoy helpful tips and tricks especially as someone new to the Instagram game! The best part is that you added the pricing and a good description! I can’t tell you how many apps I’ve downloaded and THEN find out the cost or even worse getting forced to filling out email info and they hook you in only to find out it costs an arm and a leg to purchase. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
callmeaysiab
LisamarieOh wow I’m so happy to hear that! I try to be as informative as I can so no one has to be surprised when using things I suggest! Thank you so much for reading!!
Maddie

callmeaysiab
EmmaSo glad to hear! I hope you love them as much as I do!
Cassie
I have not heard of some of these! I use Canva (currently on a free Pro trial) but it takes a lot of work to make graphics not look like everybody else’s!
callmeaysiab
CassieIt definitely does! Having that originality is hard but deff doable
Kathleen
Story Chic looks great! downloading it now!

Rachelle
Thanks! I definitely plan to try some of these out. I’ve been trying to figure out how to create the best Instagram stories for a few days not (not very hard, obviously). Lol 🙂🙌🏻
Stephanie
I use a couple of these, but out of all of them, the only one I use religiously is Unfold. I typically go for a combo of that, Canva, the Tezza app, and StoriesEdit by Planoly! It’s so fun to create unique and pretty stories.
