# RoGold vs VRChat

The clearest difference is price: VRChat at Free against RoGold's $0.99. VRChat also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). RoGold's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (67% vs 46%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

VRChat is free to download; RoGold costs $0.99 up front. VRChat sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. RoGold asks for nothing beyond the download.

VRChat holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VRChat has 3.2K ratings behind it against 393, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of RoGold's written reviews are positive against 46% of VRChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RoGold ships an update every 5 weeks, VRChat weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
