# Random vs Pretty Random

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Random at none against Pretty Random's 5. Random also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Pretty Random's advantage is ratings volume (306 vs 6). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pretty Random sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Random asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Random against 4.4 for Pretty Random.
