Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Random at none against Pretty Random's shown. Random also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 306). Pretty Random's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence 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. Pretty Random sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Random sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Pretty Random against 4.5 for Random. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 306, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Pretty Random's written reviews are positive against 55% of Random's.
Pretty Random ships an update monthly, Random every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
