# DJI GO vs LS Drone

The clearest difference is rating: LS Drone at 3.5 against DJI GO's 2.3. LS Drone also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 10.0). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

LS Drone holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI GO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of DJI GO's written reviews are positive against 0% of LS Drone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DJI GO ships an update every 2 months, LS Drone every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
