Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DJI Go4 at 6.6K against XiL Pro's 25. XiL Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.0 for DJI Go4 against 2.9 for XiL Pro.
