Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WiFi UAV at 2.9 against DJI GO's 2.3. WiFi UAV also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 471). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
