# Roblox vs GunCrafter

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against GunCrafter's shown. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (20M vs 3.8K). GunCrafter's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, 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 GunCrafter sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.6 for GunCrafter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 3.8K, 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 86% of GunCrafter's.

Roblox ships an update weekly, GunCrafter every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
