Snapchat Maintains Edge Over Instagram in U.S. Signups, But Not for Long

While recent data has indicated more users are choosing to sign up for Snap's (SNAP) - Get Report Snapchat than Facebook's (FB) - Get Report Instagram in the U.S., that trend probably won't last for long.

Last month, 52% of new U.S. users signed up for Snapchat, compared to just 48% for Instagram. But that represents a decline in Snapchat's U.S. additions from last month, while Instagram's have increased month-over-month, according to data from marketing analytics firm Jumpshot, reported by Recode.

Regarding global acquisitions, in August Snapchat represented 38.5% of new signups, while Instagram represented 61.5%.

Shares of Facebook were rising over 1%, while shares of Snap were falling in afternoon trading on Monday.
