Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Tello at 4.3 against OV Loop's 3.8. My Tello also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 30) and chart position (#158 vs unranked). OV Loop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Tello holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Tello has 1.9K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of My Tello's written reviews are positive against 57% of OV Loop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Tello ships an update every 3 weeks, OV Loop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
