# High Octane! vs Bumballon

The clearest difference is rating: Bumballon at 4.6 against High Octane!'s 4.0. Bumballon also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (163 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. High Octane! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bumballon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bumballon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bumballon has 163 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of High Octane!'s written reviews are positive against 40% of Bumballon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

High Octane! ships an update every 4 months, Bumballon fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
