What Earns More: Premium Payouts Or Gamepasses?

Hey yall!

As I was planning out my game, I came upon a question I couldn’t really answer:
Do you earn more with premium payouts, or with gamepasses?

Please answer this generally, not specifically. Like, overall, which earns faster/which is more beneficial?

Thanks a million!

25% of robux earned goes to devs from every dollar roblox makes including premium payouts and devex, so I would say gamepasses as they are more consistent to estimate earnings than premium payouts

That’s pretty much impossible. It will vary game to game depending on how aggressive the monetization is and how much people enjoy it.

I understand. However, what I’m basically saying by generally is: Overall, which method is preferred by developers to earn more money? Like, which one is used more?

I mean, I guess gamepasses, since you can’t exactly force premium players to stay ingame longer. That’s more inherent to the system than an intentional decision, though. I think my point stands.

Ever since the huge increase in premium payouts a few months ago, I tend to make double in my premium payouts than I do in sales. Gamepasses are by far more reliable though, and you should base your game more around them than premium payouts.

I once got 452 robux from a Premium Payout, so I guess it can vary.

You tend to earn more from a single PP (Premium Payout) Then a Gamepass, (unless it is a expensive gamepass ofc) in the long run though, I would say gamepasses will make more. So i would say try to make 75% of your profit from gamepasses and 25% From Premium Payouts. Hope this helps,

sorry for bump
but at that time, what was the player count?
