# Roblox vs Chat Master!

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Chat Master!'s shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 407K) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment 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 Chat Master! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Chat Master!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 407K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 60% and 60% positive.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Chat Master! monthly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
