Compared
RoCode vs Forge
Forge here means the Roblox Studio AI agent at forgeblox.app, not the Roblox game The Forge. Both work inside your own Roblox Studio place rather than handing you code to paste. They differ on platform, playtesting, how you sign in, and whether you prepay for credits or get them monthly in a plan.
Checked against Forge’s own site and announcements on 27 September 2026. If something has changed, tell us in the Discord (opens in a new tab) and we will correct it.
How RoCode connects
Nothing to install on the PC beyond the plugin. Studio connects to the chat with a one-time 8-character code.
How Forge connects
A small Windows app bridges Studio through Roblox’s own MCP server.
| Feature | RoCode | Forge |
|---|---|---|
| What you install | A free plugin from the Roblox Creator Store. The chat runs in your browser. | A small Windows app called the Bridge that connects Studio through Roblox’s built-in MCP server. |
| Runs on | Windows and macOS. | Windows only. Their site says macOS is coming later. |
| Sign-in | Email or Google sign-in at rocode.app. | Sign in with Roblox’s official login. |
| Works on the place you already have open | Yes. Reads your Explorer and scripts, then creates and edits in place. | Yes. Inspects your place and scripts first, then edits inside your Studio. |
| Builds parts, UI and structures, not only scripts | Yes. 24 Studio tools, 12 ready-made structures, UI templates. | Yes. Map, terrain, UI, data saving, economy, shop, game passes. |
| Playtests and screenshots | No. Compile check in Studio, reads the Output of playtests you run, can re-read what it changed. | Yes. Starts a playtest, reads the console, fixes errors, captures a screenshot. |
| Undo in Studio | Yes. Each batch of RoCode changes is marked as an undo point, so Ctrl+Z takes them back. | Not stated on their site. |
| Models | GLM 5.3 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 on Pro, Claude Opus 5.5 on Studio and up, GPT-6 Astra on Ultra and up (DeepSeek V4 Flash on Starter). Or a model you choose through your own OpenRouter key on paid plans. | Sonnet 5, Opus 5 and Fable 5.1, with a price multiplier shown before you send. |
| Free tier | 3 credits every day, no card. | Free trial credits when you first pair the Bridge, no card. |
| How you pay | Monthly or annual plan with credits included, plus optional credit packs. A RoCode credit is not the same unit as a Forge credit. | Prepaid credits only, 1 credit = 1¢, no subscription. |
In practice
What a RoCode run looks like
Where Forge is stronger
- It playtests and shows you a screenshot before it says done. Forge starts the game, reads the console, fixes errors and captures the viewport. RoCode stops at compile checks and the Output of playtests you run.
- It signs you in with Roblox’s official login, which some people prefer to a separate account.
- You see the model’s price multiplier before every message, and there is no subscription at all if you prefer prepaid.
Where RoCode is stronger
- It works on a Mac. Forge is Windows only for now.
- Nothing to install on the PC beyond the Studio plugin, and the chat is a web page.
- A daily free allowance rather than a one-time trial: 3 credits every day.
- A flat monthly price if you build a lot. Pro is $9.99 for 150 credits a month, about 35 advanced tasks or 375 standard tasks. Forge’s own site puts a typical build step on Sonnet 5 at 20 to 150 Forge credits, which is 20¢ to $1.50 each.
- Undo is Studio’s own: each batch of RoCode changes is marked as an undo point on the normal undo stack.
Pricing
What each one costs
RoCode
$9.99a month for Pro, or free every day
- Free plan: 3 credits a day, no card. On the free model that is enough for a few small tasks a day.
- Pro $9.99 a month (150 credits), Studio $24.99 (400), Ultra $49.99 (900), Max $99.99 (2,000). Billed yearly, each plan costs 30% less with the same credits.
- A credit measures what a run costs to compute. It is not the same unit as a Forge credit. A typical task on GLM 5.3 uses about 4 credits. Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra use credits faster.
- Credit packs from 25 credits for $2.99 up to 1,500 credits for $94.99, for paid plans. They never expire.
- Your own OpenRouter key and a model you choose on Pro and above, billed by OpenRouter, not by RoCode.
Forge
1¢per credit, packs from $10, no subscription
- Free trial credits when you pair the Bridge, no card.
- Prepaid packs: $10 for 1,000 credits, $25 for 2,750, $60 for 7,200, $150 for 19,500. One credit is one cent.
- Their site: a typical build step on Sonnet 5 costs 20 to 150 Forge credits. Stronger models cost more per step.
- No subscription. Credits are non-refundable except where the law requires.
Which one
Which should you pick?
Pick Forge if you are on Windows, you want the agent to playtest and show you a screenshot before it reports done, and you prefer to prepay by the credit with the price visible on every message.
Pick RoCode if you are on a Mac, you want nothing on the PC but the Creator Store plugin, you build often enough that a flat monthly plan beats prepaid credits, or you want a free allowance you can use every day. Both edit your real place, so on that core promise they are equals.
FAQ
Questions
Does RoCode work on macOS?
Yes. RoCode runs in a desktop browser (phones aren’t supported; in Brave, turn Shields off for rocode.app) and its plugin works in Roblox Studio on Windows and macOS. Forge requires a Windows PC today, according to its own site.
Does RoCode take screenshots or playtest?
No. RoCode compile-checks the scripts it writes inside Studio, reads the Output of playtests you run and can re-read the objects it changed. Forge runs a playtest and captures a screenshot as part of every build.
Is a monthly plan or prepaid credits cheaper?
It depends on how much you build. If you run a few builds a month, Forge’s $10 pack may last you. If you build most days, RoCode Pro at $9.99 a month includes 150 credits, about 35 advanced tasks or 375 standard tasks, and the free plan gives 3 credits every day. RoCode credits and Forge credits are different units.
