# Roblox vs Herodom

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roblox at 20M against Herodom's 3.7K. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Herodom's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Herodom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Herodom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 3.7K, 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 70% of Herodom's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Herodom every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
