How to Buy Robux on Mobile (iPhone & Android) in 2026
If you play Roblox on your phone, you've probably noticed buying Robux through the app costs more than on a computer. That's because Apple charges 30% and Google charges 15-30% commission on every in-app purchase — and Roblox passes that cost on to you.
Mobile Robux Prices vs Desktop
| Amount | Desktop/Web Price | iPhone Price | Android Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 Robux | $4.99 | $4.99 | $4.99 |
| 800 Robux | $9.99 | $9.99 | $9.99 |
| 1,700 Robux | $19.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| 4,500 Robux | $49.99 | $49.99 | $49.99 |
| 10,000 Robux | $99.99 | $99.99 | $99.99 |
While the listed prices appear the same, Roblox has historically offered fewer bonus Robux or worse exchange rates on mobile. The real savings gap appears when comparing against third-party sellers.
The Hidden Mobile Tax
Apple's 30% App Store commission means that for every $10 you spend on Robux through the Roblox iOS app, $3 goes to Apple — not to buying Robux. This reduces the value you get per dollar spent.
