Randa lets you easily generate a random number. Just set a minimum and maximum number and you will get a random number in that range. This can be useful for decision-making, picking stuff from a list, board games, dice rolling, coin flips, etc. For example, it's Netflix & chill night and you cannot decide on a movie. Just generate a random number from 1 to 20 and pick the movie at that position in your watchlist. Need to make a yes or no decision (coin flip)? Just set the minimum to 0 and the maximum to 1. You can shake the device to generate a number. And you can press and hold the number to copy it. Note: The app generates truly random or consecutively unique numbers (opt-in). However, it does not ensure all numbers in the range will appear before repeating. This feature, known as exhaustive randomization or shuffled sequence selection, is not supported.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BigCode at fortnightly against Randa's every 3 months. Randa's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
