Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Giggó at 5.0 against My Tello's 4.3. Giggó also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). My Tello's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 15) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
