Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Random Ride Picker at none against Park Times's 3. Random Ride Picker also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). Park Times's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
