# Roblox vs OneCast

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roblox at 20M against OneCast's 9.6K. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and OneCast sells 2 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 4.5 for OneCast. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 9.6K, 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 61% of OneCast's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, OneCast monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
