# Roblox vs Snail Bob 2

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Snail Bob 2's shown. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (20M vs 13K). Snail Bob 2's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Snail Bob 2 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.6 for Snail Bob 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 71% of Snail Bob 2's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Snail Bob 2 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
