Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DJI Ronin at 4.7 against Tomzon's 3.1. DJI Ronin also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 13). Tomzon's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DJI Ronin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Ronin has 8.2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of DJI Ronin's written reviews are positive against 57% of Tomzon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
