Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against MonsterCrafter's shown. Roblox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (20M vs 6.6K). MonsterCrafter's advantage is review sentiment (76% 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 MonsterCrafter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
