What Roblox membership subscription was introduced in 2007?

Roblox introduced the Builders Club membership subscription in 2007. It was the platform’s original paid membership program and gave subscribers extra benefits beyond the free Roblox account.

Builders Club helped define Roblox’s early economy. Depending on the membership tier, users could receive a daily Robux allowance, create and sell virtual clothing, remove advertisements, and gain expanded creation privileges. Roblox later introduced Turbo Builders Club and Outrageous Builders Club as higher-priced tiers with additional benefits.

The name is easy to confuse with Roblox’s development tools, but Builders Club was a player membership, not a separate game-making application. Roblox Studio was the software used to build experiences, while Builders Club affected account perks and monetization.

In 2019, Roblox replaced Builders Club with Roblox Premium. The subscription’s original role nevertheless remains important in Roblox history: it marked an early step toward the platform’s modern system of memberships, virtual currency, and creator earnings.
