# Roblox vs Pixel Danger Zone

The clearest difference is update cadence: Roblox at weekly against Pixel Danger Zone's every 3 months. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 125) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Pixel Danger Zone's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pixel Danger Zone sells 6 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 125, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 65% of Pixel Danger Zone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Pixel Danger Zone every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
