Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Randomizer at free with in-app purchases against Raffle Name's subscription. Randomizer also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 58%). Raffle Name's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 270). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Randomizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Raffle Name sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Randomizer against 4.7 for Raffle Name. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raffle Name has 5.3K ratings behind it against 270, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Randomizer's written reviews are positive against 58% of Raffle Name's.
Randomizer ships an update every 5 weeks, Raffle Name every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
