Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DJI Virtual Flight at 3.9 against THWiFi FPV's 2.3. DJI Virtual Flight also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 7%) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 29). THWiFi FPV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
