# Roblox vs Get 'Em

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Get 'Em's shown. Roblox also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 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 Get 'Em sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 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 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 66% of Get 'Em's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roblox ships an update weekly, Get 'Em every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
