# Roblox vs Bird Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bird Run at 100% against Roblox's 60%. Roblox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Bird Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Bird Run every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
