# Roblox vs Phigros

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phigros at none against Roblox's 16. Phigros also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Roblox's advantage is ratings volume (20M vs 2.9K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Phigros asks for nothing beyond the download.

Phigros holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 87% of Phigros's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Phigros every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
