The Instant Pot Duo is $109–$139, the Ninja Foodi $229–$299. The Instant Pot is the cheaper by a wide margin.
The Instant Pot pressure cooks more consistently, cleans faster with one lid, and has a huge recipe community behind it.
The Ninja's draw is a purpose-built air-fry basket the Instant Pot can't match. Step up only if you'll air fry several times a week.
