Verified October 9, 2026. Roblox Plus replaced new Premium sign-ups on April 30, 2026, but existing Roblox Premium subscribers can keep their membership. The two plans do not have identical benefits, especially for monthly Robux, in-experience discounts and private-server access.
The biggest difference is monthly Robux
The standard Roblox Plus subscription costs $4.99 per month in the United States and does not automatically supply a monthly Robux allowance. By contrast, an existing Premium plan includes a Robux stipend. Roblox now offers optional Plus 500, Plus 1000 and Plus 2000 bundles for players who want a recurring Robux allocation alongside subscription perks. A Plus user should never assume the base membership includes 500 Robux.
Where Plus can save more
Roblox Plus provides a 10% discount on eligible avatar and in-experience items. The discount rises to 20% beginning with the third consecutive paid month, rather than taking effect immediately for every member. The official Help Center excludes particularly expensive items, resold items, advertising credit, UGC publishing fees and group charges. Savings are therefore specific to eligible purchases, not an across-the-board Robux discount.
Private servers and social features
Plus allows eligible subscribers to use private servers for free in participating experiences, and it provides subscriber-exclusive ability to send direct Robux transfers under safety requirements. Trading, reselling and avatar item publishing remain meaningful benefits. Roblox says some creator payments are subsidized so eligible developers are not automatically penalized for Plus discounts.
What existing Premium members should do
Premium subscribers can keep their existing plan, but Roblox stopped new Premium purchases when Plus launched. The former 10% Robux purchase bonus and Premium profile logo were scheduled to end May 30, 2026. Before cancelling a long-standing Premium subscription, compare your actual monthly Robux allowance and market benefits against the current Plus product page and regional checkout total.
Step-by-step checklist
- Open Settings and review whether you already have Premium or Plus.
- Compare your actual monthly Robux usage with any included Premium stipend.
- Estimate savings only on eligible purchases, not every transaction.
- Check whether the experiences you play offer the Plus private-server benefit.
- Confirm your billing country and platform availability before switching.
