# TELLO vs V380 Pro

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 (#133 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.

Both are free to download. V380 Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. TELLO asks for nothing beyond the download.

V380 Pro holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 Pro has 5.4K ratings behind it against 795, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of TELLO's written reviews are positive against 34% of V380 Pro's.

TELLO ships an update every 2 months, V380 Pro every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
