Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DJI Virtual Flight at Free against Hue Disco's $4.99. DJI Virtual Flight also leads on rating (3.9 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 91). Hue Disco's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
DJI Virtual Flight is free to download; Hue Disco costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DJI Virtual Flight holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Virtual Flight has 1.8K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Hue Disco's written reviews are positive against 34% of DJI Virtual Flight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hue Disco ships an update every 2 weeks, DJI Virtual Flight every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
