# Roblox vs Stick Hero Simulator

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Stick Hero Simulator's shown. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (20M vs 63). Stick Hero Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 60%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, 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 and Stick Hero Simulator sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stick Hero Simulator 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 63, 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 89% of Stick Hero Simulator's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Stick Hero Simulator every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
