# Roblox vs Vmod

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Vmod's 3.8. Roblox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20M vs 1.4K). Vmod's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16). On price, review sentiment, 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. Vmod asks for nothing beyond the download.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 63% of Vmod's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Vmod fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
