Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PiHOT at 5.0 against DJI Fly's 3.7. PiHOT also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DJI Fly's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 1) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
