Robux Prices by Platform 2026: Web, Mobile, Console
Updated November 6, 2026
Roblox sells Robux at different prices on different platforms because each platform takes its own cut. The Roblox website sets the baseline USD price for every Robux package. Mobile apps on iOS and Android cost roughly 30% more per Robux than the web because Apple and Google each take a 30% platform fee. Microsoft Store and Amazon Appstore add their own markup. Gift cards sit at the web price. This guide pulls the live Robux package list from roblox.com/upgrades/robux and explains where to buy for the best Robux-per-dollar.

Robux web prices (USD, roblox.com)
The Roblox upgrade page lists Robux packages with the following US-dollar price points. The “bonus” number below is extra Robux Roblox throws in on larger packages:
| Robux total | Base amount + bonus | USD price (web) |
|---|---|---|
| 3,625 R$ | 3,150 + 475 bonus | $34.99 |
| 1,500 R$ | 1,200 + 300 bonus | $14.99 |
These two USD-denominated entries are the only Robux packages with USD pricing on the US page as of 6 November 2026. Smaller and larger packages on the US-locale page are being served in local currencies by IP-based geolocation. Always check the actual price displayed on your personal upgrade page before buying.
The web prices are the baseline. Every other platform charges more per Robux.
Why iOS and Android cost more per Robux
Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store both take 30% of in-app purchase revenue. Roblox passes that cost to the consumer, which is why the same Robux package on iOS or Android costs 30% more than the same package on the web. This is not a Roblox markup — the money goes to Apple or Google as a platform fee.
Example framing with web-price reference: if a web package costs $9.99 on roblox.com, the equivalent iOS or Android in-app purchase typically costs about $12.99. The exact mobile price varies with App Store or Play Store rounding and regional tax adjustments. Always check the price inside the Roblox mobile app, not on the web, when buying on mobile.
Microsoft Store and Amazon Appstore
Microsoft and Amazon both take platform fees on in-app purchases from their stores. Microsoft typically takes 15–30% depending on the storefront; Amazon’s Appstore fee is similar. The practical read: Robux bought through the Microsoft Store app or Amazon Appstore app costs more per Robux than the same purchase on roblox.com.
If the device supports both web and in-app purchases (Windows PC can run the Microsoft Store Roblox client but can also open roblox.com), the web purchase is always the cheaper path.
Xbox
Roblox is available on Xbox. Robux purchases through the Xbox console go through the Xbox store’s in-app purchase flow, which adds the Xbox store’s platform cut. Xbox players can also link their account to the Roblox web account and buy Robux through roblox.com; the Robux credits to the same account and arrive at the web price rather than the Xbox-store price.
For Xbox-primary players, the practical pattern is to buy on the web for the baseline price and play on Xbox. The Robux balance syncs with the account, not the device.
Gift cards
Roblox gift cards sold at major retailers (Walmart, Target, GameStop in the US; Tesco, Argos in the UK; equivalent chains in each region) convert fully at the web rate. A $25 gift card redeems for the same number of Robux as a $25 web purchase at the same package size, with no platform cut.
Gift cards have two practical uses beyond the baseline price:
- They let players without a credit card buy Robux using cash at the store.
- They are the only way to gift Robux to another player, since direct account-to-account transfers are not supported outside of trading inventory items.
Gift cards sometimes carry a time-limited bonus on specific holiday promotions announced by Roblox directly; the baseline conversion stays at the web rate.
Roblox Plus subscriptions (US web)
Alongside the one-time Robux packages, Roblox’s web upgrade page in the US also lists four Plus subscription tiers. Each tier has a monthly price in USD and bundles benefits plus a monthly Robux allowance (for the paid stipend tiers):
| Tier | Monthly price | Monthly Robux stipend | Other benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roblox Plus | $4.99 / month | None | Up to 20% off items and avatars, free private servers, send Robux for free, custom profile theme |
| Plus 500 | $8.99 / month | 500 R$ | Everything in Plus |
| Plus 1000 | $12.99 / month | 1,000 R$ | Everything in Plus |
| Plus 2000 | $21.99 / month | 2,000 R$ | Everything in Plus |
Plus stipend tiers are the closest surviving replacement for the discontinued Roblox Premium subscription (discontinued April 30, 2026). The monthly Robux-per-dollar for Plus 1000 is $12.99 for 1,000 R$, which is roughly in line with buying Robux directly on the web at the same volume.
Which platform gives the most Robux per dollar
Rank order from cheapest to most expensive per Robux:
- Web (roblox.com) on a desktop or mobile browser — the baseline price. No platform cut.
- Roblox gift cards — same baseline when redeemed, often easier for cash payers.
- Microsoft Store Roblox app on Windows — platform fee added; higher than web.
- Amazon Appstore Roblox on Fire tablets — Amazon’s cut added; similar to Microsoft.
- iOS or Android Roblox app — 30% Apple or Google platform fee; most expensive of the common paths.
- Xbox in-app purchase — Xbox store cut added; link web account and buy on web to avoid.
The practical pattern for the best price: open roblox.com in a browser, log in, buy the Robux there, then play on any device. The account balance syncs.
Regional pricing matters
Roblox serves regionally specific prices based on billing country. A US card is charged USD, a UK card is charged GBP, and so on. On the roblox.com upgrade page, the displayed currency reflects the billing country detected from the account region and payment method.
In some regions, the Robux-per-local-currency ratio is more favourable than USD; in others, less. Changing the account’s billing country after purchase is generally not allowed to prevent region arbitrage, so the region where you create the account mostly sticks.
How to time Robux purchases
Roblox runs occasional promotions where select Robux packages get a bonus beyond the standard package extra. These promotions last 24–72 hours and surface on the Robux upgrade page itself. Three habits help catch them:
- Check roblox.com/upgrades/robux once a week. The page shows active promotions in a banner at the top.
- Subscribe to Roblox’s email newsletter on the account settings page; Roblox sends promotion notices to the email on file.
- Follow the official Roblox news channels for announcements of seasonal sales (Black Friday, end-of-school, major in-game events).
Promotion bonuses are added on top of the normal package bonus, not instead of it. A 3,150 Robux package that normally includes a 475 Robux bonus could, during a promotion, credit 3,625 + an extra 200–500 R$.
What to avoid
Three ways players lose Robux-per-dollar value:
- Buying on mobile when a browser is available. The 30% Apple or Google fee is pure extra cost. Even on mobile, open Safari or Chrome and buy on the web.
- Third-party “Robux sites” that promise free or discounted Robux. These violate Roblox’s Terms of Use. Roblox’s position is unambiguous: external Robux generators are scams, and accounts that interact with them risk termination.
- Buying smaller packages when a larger one is affordable. The per-Robux rate improves on larger packages because the bonus is proportionally bigger. Buying 1,500 R$ in a single purchase beats three 500 R$ purchases on both bonus and convenience.
FAQ
Why are iOS and Android Robux more expensive than web Robux?
Apple and Google each take 30% of in-app purchase revenue as a platform fee. Roblox passes that cost to the player, so the same Robux package costs roughly 30% more on mobile than on the web. The extra money goes to Apple or Google, not Roblox.
Is there a way to buy iOS Robux at the web price?
Yes. Open roblox.com in a browser (Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android), log in to the same Roblox account, and buy the Robux on the web. The Robux credits to the same account and the mobile app immediately shows the updated balance. You play on the mobile app; you pay through the web.
Do Robux expire?
No. Robux do not expire. Once credited to an account, the balance persists indefinitely unless spent.
Are gift cards cheaper than direct purchase?
Generally the gift card redeems at the same web rate, so the price per Robux is the same. Gift cards sometimes carry a time-limited bonus from Roblox on specific holiday promotions; those are rare and announced by Roblox directly.
What about Xbox Robux pricing?
Xbox in-app Robux purchases include the Xbox store’s platform cut. Xbox players can bypass this by linking their Xbox Roblox account to a web account and buying on roblox.com; the Robux credits to the same account for use on Xbox.
Why does Roblox not just charge the web price everywhere?
Because Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Xbox require that in-app purchases go through their stores, which take platform fees Roblox cannot opt out of. The price difference is the platform fee, not a Roblox markup.
Is DevEx (Developer Exchange) a pricing option?
Not for buying Robux. DevEx is the opposite direction — eligible creators convert earned Robux to USD. New purchases are one-way: cash into Robux.
