Our Verdict

Micro-influencers deliver better ROI for most Roblox developers. Their higher engagement rates, lower costs, and more responsive audiences make them ideal for game promotion. Use macro-influencers for major launches when maximum reach is the priority.

Why Micro-Influencers Win on ROI

micro-influencers (1K-50K followers) consistently outperform larger creators on a cost-per-player basis:

- Higher engagement: Their smaller audiences are more engaged and responsive - Authentic feel: Smaller creators' recommendations feel more genuine - Budget-friendly: For the cost of one macro-influencer, you can hire 10-20 micro-influencers, spreading risk - Niche targeting: Micro-influencers often focus on specific game genres, reaching exactly your target audience - More content: Multiple creators means more content to repurpose across your channels

When Macro-Influencers Make Sense

Macro-influencers (100K+ followers) are worth the investment when:

- You're launching a major game and need maximum day-one visibility - You have a large marketing budget calculator ($5,000+) - You want a single viral moment that creates massive buzz - Your game appeals to a broad audience (not niche-specific) - You want content from a recognizable name for social proof

Macro-influencers create awareness at scale, but the conversion rate per view is typically lower.
