# Roblox vs Evony

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Roblox at 60% against Evony's 18%. Roblox also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, 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 Evony sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 180K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 18% of Evony's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Evony every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
