Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dedrone City at 5.0 against Dronetag's 2.7. Dronetag's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dedrone City holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dronetag has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Dedrone City's written reviews are positive against 29% of Dronetag's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dedrone City ships an update every 6 weeks, Dronetag every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
