When comparing sound quality indoors, I think you should have had the mics at the same distance from the sound source. The rode is clearly at a distance whilst your desktop set up is in front of you.🤔

I was super impressed with the VideoMic GO II - it sounds almost as good as the VideoMic NTG at a third of the price and no pesky battery to boot. The USB-C is great for Zoom or Teams even on the newer iPhones and iPads that come with USB-C. The software has a few settings like high pass filter and HF booster to make my bass-y voice sound a bit better. At $99 this is a total steal.
