ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Random Name Picker Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Name Picker Tools has 925 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Randomize List's written reviews are positive against 42% of Random Name Picker Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Randomize List ships an update every 4 months, Random Name Picker Tools every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
