Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Card Picker at none against Random's shown. Card Picker also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Random's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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. Card Picker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Random sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Random holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Card Picker's written reviews are positive against 56% of Random's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Card Picker ships an update every 6 months, Random every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
