# iPick49 vs Random

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iPick49 at 100% against Random's 56%. Random's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPick49 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Random sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Random holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iPick49's written reviews are positive against 56% of Random's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iPick49 ships an update every 6 weeks, Random every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
