Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Roblox at none against Sling Kong's shown. Roblox also leads on ratings volume (20M vs 19K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Sling Kong's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 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 Sling Kong 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

Sling Kong holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roblox has 20M ratings behind it against 19K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Roblox's written reviews are positive against 85% of Sling Kong's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roblox ships an update weekly, Sling Kong every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
