Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Stick War's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 86K) and chart position (#1 vs #55). Stick War's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Stick War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
