# Roblox vs Wild Spider

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Wild Spider's 3.6. Roblox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). Wild Spider's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16). On price, review sentiment, 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. Wild Spider asks for nothing beyond the download.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 67% of Wild Spider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Wild Spider every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
