Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Granny at none against Roblox's 16. Granny also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 60%). Roblox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20M vs 101K). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Granny asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.4 for Granny. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 101K, 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 82% of Granny's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roblox ships an update weekly, Granny monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
