# DJI GO vs HS FLY

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.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

HS FLY 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 60, 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 41% of HS FLY's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
