# Randomizer vs Randocity

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Randocity at none against Randomizer's 1. Randocity also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Randomizer's advantage is ratings volume (270 vs 23). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Randomizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Randocity asks for nothing beyond the download.

Randocity holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Randomizer has 270 ratings behind it against 23, 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 100% of Randocity's.

Randomizer ships an update every 5 weeks, Randocity every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
