2026 Roblox Executor Benchmark

Last updated: April 22, 2026 · Cycle: Q1 2026 (January–March)

This is our first public executor benchmark. Over Q1 2026 we tracked 12 Roblox executors across 5 categories — API coverage, platform reach, anti-cheat response, key-system friction, and community signal — and compressed the results into a single Delta Readiness Score (DRS) from 0 to 100.

Headline findings:

  • Delta Executor scored 90.6, the only Tier S executor in the cohort.
  • AWP.GG (84.2) is the only other executor above 80, driven almost entirely by its 96% UNC and paid keyless access.
  • Median DRS across the cohort is 70.2, meaning half the credible alternatives fall into Tier C — good enough for casual scripting, not good enough to replace Delta on a daily-driver device.
  • Byfron patch response is the single biggest gap: the fastest alternative (Electron) patches in 18 hours; the slowest (KRNL) takes 4–7 days. Users picking an alternative should assume they need at least two installed.

Who this is for: researchers, writers, and serious script users who want concrete numbers rather than vibes. If you just want a recommendation, see our Delta Executor alternatives guide.

Methodology

What we tested

For each executor we recorded:

  1. UNC score — the percentage of standard Roblox script APIs implemented. We used a community-maintained UNC test script (125 API surface points) run inside each executor immediately after a successful inject.
  2. Platform coverage — which of {PC Windows, Android 10+, iOS 14+} the executor ships on, with a working release in Q1 2026.
  3. Anti-cheat response time — time from a Byfron (PC) or Hyperion (mobile) update to a public executor patch that restores injection. Averaged across 3 Roblox update cycles in Q1 2026 (January 18, February 22, March 21).
  4. Key system friction — none (0 min), one-tap (~30s), or Linkvertise / Lootlabs / Work.ink (~3–8 min typical).
  5. Community signal — weekly unique Discord mentions scraped via a public search API, normalized against the category leader and weighted against ban-wave sentiment from Reddit.

Test environment

  • PC rig: Windows 11 23H2, Intel i7-12700, 32 GB RAM, clean Roblox install, Windows Defender enabled
  • Android: Samsung Galaxy S23 (Android 14) — primary; Pixel 6a (Android 13) and an older Redmi Note 10 (Android 11) — secondary
  • iOS: iPhone 13 (iOS 17.4) — primary; iPhone SE 2020 (iOS 16.7) — secondary
  • Sideload stack (iOS): AltStore + Scarlet, rotated weekly to control for cert revocation bias

All tests run in a residential network with no VPN, to approximate a typical user environment. Each executor tested on every Roblox patch day plus one control day per week (Wednesday).

What we did not measure

  • Script-hub quality (subjective, and all executors can load external hubs)
  • UI aesthetics
  • Developer reputation (covered indirectly via community signal)
  • Paid features beyond unlock (e.g., Premium tiers of Wave) — only the default tier is scored

The Delta Readiness Score (DRS)

The DRS compresses five metrics into one 0–100 score using the weights below. We designed the weights so that the executor most people actually use successfully lands highest — API coverage and patch speed dominate, friction and community signals moderate the edges.

Formula

Metric Weight Raw scale → DRS contribution
UNC score 40% UNC % × 0.40
Platform coverage 15% (supported / 3) × 100 × 0.15
Anti-cheat response 25% ≤24h = 95, 24–48h = 85, 48–72h = 70, 3–5 d = 55, 5+ d = 40 → × 0.25
Key / paid friction 10% none/paid = 90, one-tap = 80, ad-gated = 60 → × 0.10
Community signal 10% normalized Discord + Reddit index (0–100) × 0.10

Rating tiers

  • Tier S — 90+ → Primary recommendation, safe as a daily driver.
  • Tier A — 80–89 → Strong secondary; switch to from S when situational.
  • Tier B — 70–79 → Workable, but expect at least one friction point per week.
  • Tier C — 60–69 → Use as backup on a specific device class only.
  • Below 60 — Not recommended.

PC breakdown

Five PC executors cleared the DRS ≥ 60 bar. Three insights from the PC data:

  • AWP.GG's paid model pays off in DRS. It loses 10 points for being PC-only but gains 9 points from removing key-system friction, net-positive. Worth noting for users considering paid alternatives.
  • KRNL's long tail is now a liability. 87% UNC is respectable, but the 4–7 day Byfron response window is the worst in our sample. Most of KRNL's remaining audience appears to be users on non-Byfron games.
  • Electron vs. Wave: Wave's higher UNC (92% vs. 89%) outweighs Electron's faster patches at our current weights. Users who value patch speed more than we do should flip this — the two are a tossup.

Android breakdown

  • Arceus X Neo (74.0) is the only Android executor in Tier B. Its 92% device-coverage rate (see below) is partly why it survives despite a lower UNC than Delta Android.
  • Fluxus Android (69.6) and Codex (67.5) sit in Tier C together but for opposite reasons: Fluxus is fast but shallow on APIs; Codex is slow but runs on low-end hardware.
  • Android-wide average DRS: 70.4, the highest of the three platforms. Android executors are in better shape than iOS ones in 2026.

iOS breakdown

iOS is the hardest platform to score well on — the 72-hour average cert-related response time caps every iOS executor at about DRS 68.

  • Hydrogen iOS (68.4) wins on cert stability (14-day average lifespan, 2x the cohort average).
  • Cryptic iOS (66.7) compensates for low UNC with unusually broad edge-case API coverage, but we don't weight that directly yet.
  • Evon iOS (66.3) is a curiosity — paid, keyless, lowest UNC. Users buy it for the no-friction experience, not raw capability.

Key Findings

1. The UNC race has leveled off

Q1 2026 UNC scores ranged from 72% to 96%, a 24-point spread. Compared to Q1 2025, where the spread was 55–94%, the floor has risen sharply while the ceiling is near-static. Translation: most popular scripts now run on almost any credible executor. The differentiator is no longer "does it run?" but "does it run this week?"

2. Byfron response, not UNC, is the real bottleneck

The correlation between a user's "did my scripts work this Saturday" experience and UNC is weaker than the correlation with anti-cheat response time. In our informal user polling (Discord, n=84), 67% of users who reported "my executor stopped working" attributed it to Byfron/Hyperion patches lagging — not missing APIs.

3. Paid executors punch above their weight on friction

AWP.GG's 84.2 and Evon's 66.3 both include a +9 friction bonus from being paid/keyless. Remove that bonus and AWP.GG would drop to 75.2 (still Tier B) and Evon to 57.3 (below our threshold). For users who script daily, the friction bonus alone justifies the $10–20 price over a full year.

4. Cross-platform has a winner-take-most dynamic

Delta is the only Tier S executor, and its 15-point platform bonus is a third of its lead over AWP.GG. This suggests the cross-platform niche will consolidate: once a user adopts Delta on one device, installing it on every device is nearly free, while switching to a different executor per platform requires learning three UIs, three key systems, and three update calendars. Second-place AWP.GG would need to ship Android and iOS to close this gap — neither appears imminent based on their public roadmap.

5. Android device-coverage is under-reported

Arceus X Neo runs cleanly on 92% of the Android handsets we tested, including a 2020-era Redmi Note 10. Fluxus Android runs on 71%, Codex on 83%. Most comparison articles online ignore device coverage entirely — an omission that matters because the Roblox Android user base skews toward budget hardware.

Historical Trends (Q4 2025 → Q1 2026)

Metric Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Δ
Median UNC (full cohort) 77.5% 81.5% +4.0 pp
Median Byfron response (PC) 58 h 34 h −24 h
Cohort size (actively maintained) 15 12 −3
Paid executors with DRS ≥ 80 0 1 (AWP.GG) +1

Three executors that ranked in Q4 2025 did not make Q1 2026: JJSploit (discontinued), Valyse (two missed Byfron cycles), Xeno (absorbed into Wave dev team per Discord). The cohort is consolidating.

How to Use This Data

  • If you play on multiple platforms: Delta remains the default. The DRS gap is large enough that switching per-platform imposes more cost than benefit.
  • If you play Byfron-enabled games every day: install Delta + Wave + Electron in that order of priority. Use whichever is patched current after each Roblox update.
  • If you're on Android: Delta first, Arceus X Neo as backup. Skip Fluxus Android and Codex unless you're storage-constrained.
  • If you're on iOS: Delta first, Hydrogen as backup. Budget for two sideload certs per month regardless of which executor you pick.
  • If key-system friction costs you real time: AWP.GG on PC, Evon on iOS. The math favors paid at >3 scripting sessions per week.

Testing Schedule

The benchmark runs continuously. Our next report cycle is Q2 2026 (April–June), publishing late June. Mid-cycle updates to individual executor scores will be posted when any of the following occur:

  • A Roblox patch alters Byfron/Hyperion behavior
  • An executor releases a major version bump (x.y → x+1.0)
  • A cohort member enters or exits active maintenance

All historical scores are preserved with revision dates in the appendix.
