# Pair Randomizer vs Random Name Picker Tools

The clearest difference is rating: Random Name Picker Tools at 4.4 against Pair Randomizer's 2.6. Random Name Picker Tools also leads on ratings volume (925 vs 8). Pair Randomizer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 42%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Name Picker Tools sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Pair Randomizer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Random Name Picker Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Name Picker Tools has 925 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pair Randomizer'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.
