# Ling vs Ilokano Random

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ilokano Random at 100% against Ling's 61%. Ilokano Random also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 3) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ling sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Ilokano Random asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ilokano Random holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 16K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Ling's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ilokano Random's.
