Roblox Premium vs Plus: What Each Subscription Gives
Contents
Official Roblox support describes two separate loyalty programs: the Premium subscription, which is currently being phased out, and the new Roblox Plus that’s replacing it. Below is a summary of both, based on the official support pages.
Premium: What’s Left
- New subscriptions can no longer be purchased. As of 30 April 2026, Roblox Premium is no longer sold to new users.
- Existing subscribers keep their access. If a subscription is already active, it keeps running until the owner cancels it themselves.
- Some perks were removed on 30 May 2026. The 10% Robux purchase bonus and the Premium badge next to a user’s name are both gone.
- What stayed. The monthly Robux payout tied to the subscription tier and the ability to trade items on the Marketplace still work for anyone who kept their subscription.
Roblox Plus: What It Is
- A purchase discount. Plus immediately gives a 10% discount on in-experience items and avatar items.
- The discount grows over time. If the subscription stays active for three consecutive months, the discount doubles to 20%.
- Robux transfers between players. Only Plus subscribers can send Robux to another user for free, and both sides have to pass age verification for 18+ (younger users need parental permission).
Separate Plus 500/1000/2000 Packages
The Plus subscription itself doesn’t add Robux every month — that’s a separate option. There are three packages with a fixed monthly amount:
- Plus 500 — 500 Robux a month.
- Plus 1000 — 1,000 Robux a month.
- Plus 2000 — 2,000 Robux a month.
In other words, every Plus subscriber gets the 10-20% discount, while the actual monthly Robux amount depends on the separately chosen package. For ways to earn Robux without a subscription, see our piece on Robux and how to get it.
Where the Plus Discount Doesn’t Apply
Official support lists specific exceptions: items priced above 1 million Robux, resold items, ad credits, UGC publishing fees, and group funds — none of these are covered by the Plus discount.
What Isn’t Officially Stated
- The exact price of the Plus subscription in local currency. Support describes the discount and package mechanics, but doesn’t give a region-by-region price list.
- Whether Premium’s 10% Robux bonus will come back. The page describes the change as already made, with no mention of a possible reversal.
- A long-term timeline for Premium itself. It’s known that no new subscriptions are sold, but there’s no end date on the checked pages for when the program fully winds down for existing subscribers.
What to Choose Right Now
If you want a brand-new subscription, there’s effectively no choice left — Roblox Plus is the only option you can sign up for. If you want a steady monthly Robux income, you’ll need to add one of the Plus 500/1000/2000 packages separately rather than counting on the Plus subscription alone to provide it. More on how to refresh your look with the Robux you save is in our piece on avatars in Roblox.
Frequently asked questions
Can you still buy Roblox Premium?
No. As of 30 April 2026, new Premium subscriptions can no longer be purchased — Roblox Plus took its place. Anyone already subscribed to Premium keeps it until they cancel it themselves.
What was removed from Premium on 30 May 2026?
The 10% Robux purchase bonus and the Premium badge next to a user's name. The monthly Robux payout tied to the subscription tier and the ability to trade items both stayed.
How much Robux does the Plus subscription give each month?
The Plus subscription itself doesn't add Robux automatically — that requires separate Plus 500, Plus 1000, and Plus 2000 packages, which add 500, 1,000, or 2,000 Robux a month respectively.
What discount do Plus subscribers get?
10% on in-experience items and avatar items right away, and after three consecutive months of subscribing, the discount doubles to 20%.
Can you send Robux to a friend for free?
Yes, but only if both sides are Plus subscribers who have passed age verification for 18+. Younger users need parental permission for that kind of transfer.
