# CloudRover IV vs RC FPV

The clearest difference is rating: CloudRover IV at 2.9 against RC FPV's 2.4. CloudRover IV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). RC FPV's advantage is ratings volume (501 vs 10) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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: RC FPV has 501 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of CloudRover IV's written reviews are positive against 18% of RC FPV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudRover IV ships an update every 6 weeks, RC FPV every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
