# Random vs Raffle Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Raffle Pro at 80% against Random's 56%. Raffle Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Random's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Raffle Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Raffle Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.8K and 3.9K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Random's written reviews are positive against 80% of Raffle Pro's.

Random ships an update every 3 weeks, Raffle Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
