Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CloudRover IV holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rx Drone has 137 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Rx Drone's written reviews are positive against 0% of CloudRover IV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rx Drone ships an update every 5 weeks, CloudRover IV every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
