Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: V380 Pro at 3.9 against TELLO's 3.3. V380 Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). TELLO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
