# Roblox vs Ice World

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ice World at none against Roblox's 4. Ice World also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Roblox's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (21M vs 28). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Ice World asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.4 for Ice World. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 21M ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Roblox ships an update every 6 days, Ice World every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
