# Random Tools vs Random Number Generator App

The clearest difference is rating: Random Number Generator App at 4.5 against Random Tools's 4.0. Random Number Generator App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (488 vs 20). Random Tools's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 13%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Random Number Generator App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Random Number Generator App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Number Generator App has 488 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Random Tools's written reviews are positive against 13% of Random Number Generator App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Random Tools ships an update every 2 months, Random Number Generator App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
