# Roblox vs Hero Transform

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Hero Transform's 4.0. Roblox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, 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 Hero Transform 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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hero Transform's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Hero Transform every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
