# Roblox vs Laser Split

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Laser Split's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 1.8K) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Laser Split's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 60%). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Laser Split sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Laser Split holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 1.8K, 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 68% of Laser Split's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
