In competition with Twitter's Vine video service that was launched in January 2013, Instagram launched their competing video service on Thursday 20 June 2013. Some key differences are:
Vine allows up to 6 second long videos to be posted whereas Instagram allows up to 15 seconds.
Instagram has 130 million users world-wide, where Vine only has 13 million although this is a bit misleading, as it doesn't take account of Twitter's 500+ million users.
You can't embed an Instagram video on your website but you can with a Vine video, which is a real bonus for marketing and means Instagram falls far short in this respect.
