# Roblox vs Going Balls

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Going Balls's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 421K) and chart position (#1 vs #59). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Going Balls sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.6 for Going Balls. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 421K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 58% of Going Balls's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Going Balls every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
