Lovingly crafted by the multi-award winning British indie studio Laserdog, Ava Airborne lets you master the sky with anything you can find: cardboard wings, rocket-propelled boots, an old umbrella, or even a jet-fuelled trombone. ==================== TAKE TO THE SKIES: Glide Ava as far as you can without touching the floor - the further you fly, the bigger the reward!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ava Airborne at none against High Octane!'s shown. Ava Airborne also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (255 vs 8). High Octane!'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ava Airborne sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and High Octane! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
High Octane! holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ava Airborne has 255 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Ava Airborne's written reviews are positive against 44% of High Octane!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ava Airborne ships an update every 10 days, High Octane! every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
