Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HS FPV holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 4DRC PRO has 196 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of 4DRC PRO's written reviews are positive against 20% of HS FPV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
4DRC PRO ships an update every 6 weeks, HS FPV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
