# Randomizer vs Range

The clearest difference is price: Randomizer at Free against Range's $1.99. Randomizer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). Range's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (6 vs 2). On ads there is nothing between them.

Randomizer is free to download; Range costs $1.99 up front. Randomizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Range asks for nothing beyond the download.

Randomizer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Randomizer has 270 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Randomizer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Range's.

Randomizer ships an update every 5 weeks, Range every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
