# Roblox vs Flash Party

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roblox at 20M against Flash Party's 15K. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Flash Party's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads 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 Flash Party sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flash Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 55% of Flash Party's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Flash Party monthly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
