Roblox plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roblox | Free | 1 | Entry tier |
| Robux packs | $0.99/one-time | 1 | +$0.99/one-time, 1 more feature |
| Premium | $5.99/month | 1 | +$5/month, 1 more feature |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Roblox in for a player wanting access to thousands of free, independently developed games inside one account rather than downloading separate apps, a parent needing to configure spending and content controls given real-money purchases have no default cap, a young developer or small studio wanting a built-in audience and payment system rather than publishing a standalone app on ios or android, a brand or ip holder building a licensed branded experience to reach robloxs young player base. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Roblox are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Gaming
Too few gaming tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| Roblox (this page) | Free | Free to play, Robux currency packs and a subscription | - | |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Roblox badges page.
Before you pay for Roblox
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $5.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Roblox runs on ios, android, windows, macos, web, xbox, and is published by Roblox Corporation of San Mateo, California, United States. The full record is on the Roblox review, and the rest of the category is under best gaming tools.
