# Roblox vs Mutant Meltdown

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Roblox at 60% against Mutant Meltdown's 0%. Roblox also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (20M vs 6). Mutant Meltdown's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads 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 Mutant Meltdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roblox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8.
