# Roblox vs Lunch Box Ready

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lunch Box Ready at none against Roblox's 16. Roblox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, 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. Lunch Box Ready 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 Lunch Box Ready. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 82K, 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 51% of Lunch Box Ready's.
