Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: XT at 3.5 against DJI GO's 2.3. XT also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 10.0). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

XT 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 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
DJI GO ships an update every 2 months, XT monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
