Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gift Xchanger at 100% against Raffle Name's 57%. Gift Xchanger also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Raffle Name's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 77 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raffle Name sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Gift Xchanger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Raffle Name holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raffle Name has 5.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Raffle Name's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gift Xchanger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Raffle Name ships an update every 3 weeks, Gift Xchanger every 77 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
