# Random vs Random Number

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Random Number at 100% against Random's 18%. Random Number also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). Random's advantage is ratings volume (85 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Random Number asks for nothing beyond the download.

Random Number holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Random's written reviews are positive against 100% of Random Number's.

Random ships an update monthly, Random Number every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
