# Roblox vs Shooting Survival

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Shooting Survival's 4.0. Roblox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20M vs 10). Shooting Survival's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Shooting Survival sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 88% of Shooting Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Shooting Survival every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
