# Roblox vs Beat Blader 3D

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Beat Blader 3D's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 47K) and chart position (#1 vs #145). Beat Blader 3D's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Beat Blader 3D sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beat Blader 3D 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 47K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 57% of Beat Blader 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Beat Blader 3D every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
