Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HeliDirect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeliDirect has 676 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of HeliDirect's written reviews are positive against 75% of Top Fun RC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HeliDirect ships an update every 2 months, Top Fun RC every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
