# Rx Drone vs GX

The clearest difference is rating: GX at 3.7 against Rx Drone's 2.4. GX also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Rx Drone's advantage is ratings volume (137 vs 3) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

GX holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rx Drone has 137 ratings behind it against 3, 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 GX'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, GX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
