Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DJI GO at none against RC FPV's shown. DJI GO also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 501) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). RC FPV's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.3 for DJI GO against 2.4 for RC FPV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI GO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 501, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 15% of DJI GO's written reviews are positive against 18% of RC FPV's.
DJI GO ships an update every 2 months, RC FPV every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
