I am thinking about using profileservice instead of the normal datastores to save data. To my understanding this is more secure and less chances of data loss. I also wonder how much data profileservice can save vs to the normal Roblox datastores. Is it more or less? As I believe 4KB is maximum for the normal datastores. Are there any downsides to profileservice vs to the Roblox datastore?
profileservice is a library that saves data based on profiles, which are data structures generally intended for saving data for players.
The main advantages of using profileservice are:
- Simplicity is easy to use.
- Security, profileservice is extremely secure.
- resources, it has many resources, which can help you solve specific problems.
Another very good data saving library is DataStore2, if you don’t like profileservice, it’s worth taking a look at DataStore2.
Thanks for this information: Are there any disadvantages of profileservice? Also I am guessing api services need to be turned on? And how much data can profileservice hold? More or less than the normal datastore?
There is no limit to the data that the profile service can contain, if there is, this limit is established by the Roblox DataStore itself. and yes, ProfileService requires the API services to be activated.
Regarding disadvantages, I don’t know of any. I’ve never had any problems using ProfileService. something I could assume is control. but I don’t think you would need that, in normal situations.

Far as I knew there was a limit
4KB per entry
260KB per sorted entry
60 requests per minute
50 character limit
I could be wrong if someone got info saying otherwise let me know!
Thank you very much for the information friend! ^^
