# Roblox vs Halloween

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Halloween's shown. Roblox also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (21M vs 33). Halloween's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, 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 Halloween sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 4.5 for Halloween. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 21M ratings behind it against 33, 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 50% of Halloween's.

Roblox ships an update every 6 days, Halloween every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
