# DJI GO vs LW Pro

The clearest difference is rating: LW Pro at 4.1 against DJI GO's 2.3. LW Pro also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (29% vs 15%). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 16) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). 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.

LW Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI GO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of DJI GO's written reviews are positive against 29% of LW Pro's.

DJI GO ships an update every 2 months, LW Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
