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 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RUKO DRONE has 106 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of HS FPV's written reviews are positive against 21% of RUKO DRONE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HS FPV ships an update every 2 months, RUKO DRONE monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
