Difference between dataStore and Profilestore

[left scroll]

which one do yall preferably use

[sand glen]

ProfileStore is a library (module) that uses Roblox's Datastores to make implementing data saving easier on the dev.

ProfileStore has a lot of nice features, so probably better than raw Datastore, unless you need every byte of the 4mb limit for a Datastore value

[bleak sand]

data store is more complex but better if you have a game with tons of player and you also want to save the data if a player keeps rejoining in which case profilestore might not save, data store is the best option
