# Roblox vs Car Maker Games

The clearest difference is rating: Roblox at 4.5 against Car Maker Games's 3.4. Roblox also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 30%) and ratings volume (20M vs 1.4K). Car Maker Games's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, 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 Car Maker Games sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
