# DJI GO vs Rx Drone

The clearest difference is monetization model: Rx Drone at free against DJI GO's free with in-app purchases. DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 137) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.3 for DJI GO against 2.4 for Rx Drone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI GO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 137, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 15% of DJI GO's written reviews are positive against 20% of Rx Drone's.

DJI GO ships an update every 2 months, Rx Drone every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
