# Random vs Spin The Wheel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spin The Wheel at 84% against Random's 56%. Spin The Wheel also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Random's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 9). On price, update cadence, 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 Spin The Wheel sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spin The Wheel holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Random's written reviews are positive against 84% of Spin The Wheel's.

Random ships an update every 3 weeks, Spin The Wheel every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
