Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HF GPS at 3.0 against DJI GO's 2.3. HF GPS also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (30% vs 15%). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
