Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HS FLY at 3.5 against DJI GO's 2.3. HS FLY also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 15%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DJI GO's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 60) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
