Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Glitch Run at none against High Octane!'s shown. Glitch Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). High Octane!'s advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glitch Run sells 3 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Glitch Run holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glitch Run has 1.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Glitch Run'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Glitch Run ships an update fortnightly, High Octane! every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
