Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nerve at none against My Tello's shown. Nerve also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). My Tello's advantage is chart position (#150 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
