Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DJI Ronin at Free against LensPick's $1.99. DJI Ronin also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 13). LensPick's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 30%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DJI Ronin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Ronin has 7.5K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of LensPick's written reviews are positive against 30% of DJI Ronin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LensPick ships an update every 17 months, DJI Ronin every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
