# Roblox vs The President.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The President. at none against Roblox's 16. Roblox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20M vs 275K). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. The President. asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.6 for The President.. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 275K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 49% of The President.'s.

Roblox ships an update weekly, The President. monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
