The clearest difference is rating: High Octane! at 4.3 against Magic Mansion's 3.3. High Octane! also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 34%). Magic Mansion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
