Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DE FPV at 3.6 against 4DRC Air's 2.9.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DE FPV holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DE FPV has 188 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of DE FPV's written reviews are positive against 40% of 4DRC Air's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DE FPV ships an update every 2 months, 4DRC Air every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
