# Roblox vs Survivor!.io

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roblox at 21M against Survivor!.io's 245K. Roblox also leads on chart position (#1 vs #37) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Survivor!.io's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (74% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Survivor!.io sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Survivor!.io holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 21M ratings behind it against 245K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 74% of Survivor!.io's.

Roblox ships an update every 6 days, Survivor!.io fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
