Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DJI Ronin at 4.7 against SNAP G Camera's 2.3. DJI Ronin also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 3). SNAP G Camera's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DJI Ronin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Ronin has 8.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of DJI Ronin's written reviews are positive against 46% of SNAP G Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
