Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hover 2 at 3.7 against DJI Go4's 3.0. Hover 2 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DJI Go4's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 3) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Hover 2 holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Go4 has 6.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of DJI Go4's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hover 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DJI Go4 ships an update every 3 months, Hover 2 weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
