Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HoverBots holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 360 Mach Flight has 258 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HoverBots's written reviews are positive against 12% of 360 Mach Flight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HoverBots ships an update every 3 weeks, 360 Mach Flight weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
