Roblox Premium was the platform's major subscription for years.
In 2026, Roblox introduced Roblox Plus as the new subscription system for new purchases.
That creates an obvious question:
What is the difference between Roblox Plus and Premium?
The answer depends partly on whether you already had Premium before the transition.
Can You Still Buy Roblox Premium?#
New Roblox Premium purchases ended as Roblox transitioned toward Plus.
Existing qualifying Premium subscribers can retain their legacy subscription while it remains active.
That makes Premium increasingly a grandfathered product rather than the default subscription for new users.
What Is Roblox Plus?#
Roblox Plus is the newer benefits-focused subscription.
Features can include things such as:
- purchase discounts
- private-server benefits
- direct Robux transfers
- trading eligibility
- creator benefits
- optional Robux bundles
You can check Roblox's current subscription details on the official Roblox Plus support page.
Does Standard Plus Give Monthly Robux?#
Standard Roblox Plus does not automatically work like old Premium plans with a monthly Robux stipend.
Instead, Roblox offers separate bundles such as:
- Plus 500
- Plus 1000
- Plus 2000
These combine Plus benefits with recurring Robux.

Premium and Monthly Robux#
Existing qualifying Premium subscriptions can continue using the monthly Robux structure associated with their existing plan.
That is one of the biggest differences between legacy Premium and standard Plus.
Plus Discounts#
Roblox Plus introduces purchase discounts.
Eligible purchases can start with a lower discount and eventually reach 20% after maintaining the subscription for the required consecutive period.

Private Servers#
Plus includes private-server benefits in supported experiences.
Roblox can change the exact structure of the benefit, so check our Roblox Plus Private Servers guide for current details.
Direct Robux Transfers#
Plus allows eligible users to directly transfer Robux to other Roblox users.
That is a major difference from older Roblox systems where players often relied on:
- group payouts
- game passes
- item sales

Trading#
Roblox Plus can satisfy the subscription requirement for official Roblox Limited trading.
That means older articles claiming Premium is the only way to trade are no longer fully current.

Which Is Better?#
For new subscribers, Premium is largely no longer the practical choice because new purchases have moved to Plus.
Existing Premium users have a different decision.
If you cancel a grandfathered subscription, do not assume you will always be able to return to the same legacy plan later.
Compare your current benefits before making changes.
