# Roblox vs Flippy Skate

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Flippy Skate's 4.1. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 158) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Flippy Skate's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, 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 Flippy Skate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 158, so its average is the more settled of the two.
