RoCode vs Kiwari

The short answer

Kiwari is a desktop app with an AI agent that works next to Roblox Studio; on 23 October 2026 its download page offered macOS only, with Windows coming soon. Its free Lite tier gives daily usage on one basic text-only model, and Pro is $19.99 a month or $199 a year. RoCode runs in a desktop browser with a free Studio plugin on Windows or Mac, gives 1 free credit a day, Pro is $9.99 a month, and any payment can be refunded in full within 14 days.

Checked 23 October 2026 against kiwari.dev, its pricing, download and terms pages.

Kiwari here means the Roblox Studio AI agent at kiwari.dev. Both tools read and edit the place you have open in Studio. Kiwari is a desktop app you install; RoCode is a web chat plus a free Studio plugin. The other differences are platforms, the free tier, price and what each adds on top.

Checked on 23 October 2026 against the Kiwari home page (features, plans, FAQ and latest updates), its pricing page, its download page and its terms. We did not install the app, so anything those pages don't say is marked as not stated. If something has changed, tell us in the Discord (opens in a new tab) and we will correct it.

Feature	RoCode	Kiwari
What you install and where it runs	A free plugin from the Roblox Creator Store, in Roblox Studio on Windows or Mac. The chat runs at rocode.app in a desktop browser. Studio connects by itself when it is signed in to the same Roblox account (plugin 3.9.13 or newer), otherwise with a one-time 8-character code.	A desktop app that works next to Roblox Studio, not a plugin. Its download page offered macOS builds (Apple silicon and Intel) only; Windows was "coming soon", with a waitlist.
Sign-in	Email code, Google, Discord or Roblox at rocode.app, with no RoCode password.	Sign in with Roblox, per its free plan.
Works on the place you already have open	Yes. It reads the objects and scripts a step needs, then creates and edits them in the place you have open.	Yes. Its FAQ says it reads and edits the open place: scripts, UI, assets and playtests. You approve every change unless you turn on Run everything.
What it builds	Scripts, parts and UI, one feature or one round of a game at a time, with 27 Studio tools. Ready-made UI kits: 10 screens (HUD, pet inventory, store, daily rewards, item shop, egg hatching, rebirth, settings, daily quests, loading screen) in 5 themes, animated, with working server scripts, inserted in one step. Themed world islands (volcano, desert canyon, jungle or snow) in one call.	Features, UI, assets and animations, per its home page. It also generates models, meshes and textures, on the free tier too, and you can pick Toolbox assets in the chat.
Playtests its own work	Yes, within limits. After a build its test robot can play the game in Studio: it walks, touches parts, clicks buttons, presses keys and equips tools, then reports each check as PASS or FAIL (plugin 3.9.11 or newer; keys and clicks need 3.9.15 or newer). The agent decides when to test, and it cannot tell you whether the game is fun.	Yes. Every plan lists "Playtest and debug live"; Pro adds visual checks with screenshots.
Models	DeepSeek V4 Flash on every plan. GLM 5.3 Flash and Claude Sonnet 5.5 from Pro, Claude Opus 5.5 from Studio, GPT-6 Astra on Ultra. Any paid plan can also run your own OpenRouter key.	One basic text-only model on the free tier, extra usage for stronger models on Pro, frontier models on Pro+. Its pages do not name the models.
Free tier	1 credit a day (2 on the day you sign up), refilled at 00:00 UTC, no card. After a few builds, free accounts are asked to join the RoCode Discord to keep getting free credits.	Kiwari Lite: daily usage on one basic text-only model, with limited doc lookups and no images or screenshots.
Price	Pro $9.99 a month (150 credits), Studio $19.99 (320), Ultra $29.99 (500). Credit packs from $4.99 on any plan.	Pro $19.99 a month or $199 a year (shown as $17 a month), with weekly usage resets. Pro+ $59.99 a month or $599 a year, with 4x Pro's usage.
Refunds	In full within 14 days of any payment, including renewals and credit packs.	Not stated. Its terms say billing, taxes and refunds may be governed by the payment provider's terms.

In practice

What a RoCode run looks like

The RoCode chat with a prompt being typed: make a spinning glowing part above the spawn that changes colour when you click it. Roblox Studio is open beside it. — 1You describe it in the chat, in plain English.

Three finished tool cards in the chat: Create Instance SpinPart, Create Script Spinner, Create Script ClickColor. The new objects are highlighted in the Studio Explorer. — 2Every step is visible: the part, then each script.

The spinning part in the Studio viewport after being clicked, now a different colour, with the Output window logging the colour change. — 3The result is in your place, in Studio’s undo history.

Where Kiwari is stronger

You approve every change, unless you turn on Run everything. For larger tasks it asks clarifying questions and makes a plan before it builds. RoCode builds as soon as you send, and each batch is an undo point instead.
Asset generation: models, meshes and textures, even on its free tier, plus Toolbox assets picked in the chat. RoCode does not generate meshes or search the Toolbox.
Subagents that run in parallel to explore, review, script and build, and a search of up-to-date Roblox docs.
Projects that group chats across several places.

Where RoCode is stronger

Windows. RoCode works with Roblox Studio on Windows or Mac. Kiwari's download page offered macOS only, with Windows coming soon.
Nothing to install beyond a Studio plugin from the Creator Store. Studio connects by itself on the same Roblox account.
A lower first paid plan: Pro is $9.99 a month at RoCode and $19.99 at Kiwari ($199 a year).
A stated refund window: in full within 14 days of any payment. Kiwari's pages do not state a refund policy.
Named models by plan, from DeepSeek V4 Flash on every plan to Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra, or your own OpenRouter key. Kiwari's pages do not name its models.
Ready-made UI kits, 10 animated screens in 5 themes with working server scripts, and themed world islands, each in one step.
A free plan that reads images: RoCode accepts image attachments on every plan, the free one included. Kiwari Lite takes no images or screenshots.
