# Roblox vs Evertech Sandbox

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Evertech Sandbox's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 2.6K) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Evertech Sandbox sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Evertech Sandbox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
