Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Godus's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 75K) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Godus's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Godus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Roblox against 4.6 for Godus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 75K, 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 73% of Godus's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roblox ships an update weekly, Godus every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
