Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Battle Run's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 796) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Battle Run'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 Battle Run 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 796, 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 54% of Battle Run's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roblox ships an update weekly, Battle Run monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
