I’m trying to figure out which option for selling 2x XP would be the most efficient for an RPG.
Option 1: Selling it as a devproduct. They can purchase the amount of time they want the boost
Or
Option 2: Selling it as a normal gamepass

I recommend doing both but making the dev product one cheaper.
It’s up to you frankly. I’ve seen combinations of both being used in games and I think both can work well depending on what kind of environment you’re running with. For example: if levels are significant, probably wouldn’t want to go with a game pass. If levels are easy to get and aren’t the largest part of gameplay nor your monetisation focal, then the game pass would be appreciated by players.
My honest opinion is that the game pass approach should never be used if you’re looking to capitalise on extended EXP. If you have to have a game pass related to EXP benefits, it should be much lower than 2x (e.g. only 1.2x) and the products should be the ones to carry monetisation of EXP gains. In this regard, players can also stack up time and spend more if they really enjoy your game.
Another thing to keep in mind is your players in general. If you allow double EXP to be bought by time slots, that means a lower time means a lower cost. Players who don’t have as much Robux could afford that boost, but may not have any for the double EXP game pass which may upset them.
Products can put them on the same playing field as others with more to spend for more double EXP time. And if you like, you can also price the game pass much higher for permanency and voiding the players from having to make any more double EXP time purchases again. You will lose money in this scenario though because the game pass owners stop providing you a revenue flow.
Last consideration is how often players play as well and if they’re truly getting their money’s worth. This you’d have to gauge on your own, I can’t tell you how that’d go.
Good luck out there.
I personally would prefer to buy a game pass to have x2 forever. I don’t like boosts because they are expensive and they end very quickly. Another option is to add both boosts and gamepass.
I think it is better to incorporate both
And setting the gamepass is more expensive.
