Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DJI Go4 at 3.0 against SDFly's 2.3. DJI Go4 also leads on ratings volume (6.6K vs 11) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). SDFly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
