# Roblox vs Mini copter

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Roblox at 20M against Mini copter's 7. Roblox also leads on chart position (#1 vs unranked). Mini copter's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roblox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Mini copter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 4.4 for Mini copter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
