Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Mini World's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 8.2K) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Mini World's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Mini World sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 61% of Mini World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roblox ships an update weekly, Mini World every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
