Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DJI GO at 2.3 against H8 Control's 1.6. DJI GO also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 15) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). H8 Control's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
