Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DJI GO at 2.3 against 1x's 1.0. DJI GO also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and review sentiment (15% vs 0%). 1x's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
