# Hyrule Compendium vs OW Hero Randomizer

The clearest difference is rating: Hyrule Compendium at 4.5 against OW Hero Randomizer's 3.5. Hyrule Compendium also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (421 vs 11). OW Hero Randomizer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (67% vs 46%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyrule Compendium sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. OW Hero Randomizer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hyrule Compendium holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyrule Compendium has 421 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Hyrule Compendium's written reviews are positive against 67% of OW Hero Randomizer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hyrule Compendium ships an update fortnightly, OW Hero Randomizer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
