Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Word Checker Dictionary at 5.0 against Pretty Random's 4.4. Pretty Random's advantage is ratings volume (306 vs 15) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pretty Random sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Word Checker Dictionary sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Word Checker Dictionary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pretty Random has 306 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Pretty Random ships an update monthly, Word Checker Dictionary every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
