Quick answer
For most users, the GoPro MAX 360 offers excellent value and proven stabilization, while the DJI Osmo 360 provides a higher-end standard combo with additional accessories. Your choice depends on budget and priority for included gear.
Stabilization and ease of use
Both cameras capture immersive 360-degree footage, but their stabilization systems differ. GoPro's HyperSmooth technology is known for delivering ultra-smooth video without a gimbal. DJI's equivalent stabilization is also strong, but the Osmo 360's standard combo includes extra mounting accessories that may simplify setup for beginners.
Price and value
Price is a major differentiator. The GoPro MAX 360 is significantly more affordable, making it a solid entry point into 360 action cams. The DJI Osmo 360 Standard Combo costs more but includes additional items in the box, which could save you money if you would otherwise buy those accessories separately.
