I put the API row next to the Kickstarter row so the differences are boring and specific. Player count for the tabletop game is blank on purpose. Cryptozoic did not publish one in the pages I read.

I would not use Roblox likes to judge the book, and I would not use the Kickstarter total to judge the Roblox combat. They are both Adventure Time. They are not reviews of each other.
Questions people ask
Which Adventure Time RPG should I get?
If you want to play tonight with people online, use Roblox. It is free. If you want a table, dice, and 5E books, wait on or late-pledge the Cryptozoic set. One does not include the other.
Do they use the same rules?
No. The Roblox build tracks four elements, buddies, and a dungeon train. The book uses 5E plus a STORY sheet. Yes/And is a third, unfinished system.
