Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pasta Machine at 4.6 against GoRandom's 2.3. Pasta Machine also leads on ratings volume (8.7K vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GoRandom's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pasta Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pasta Machine has 8.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of GoRandom's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GoRandom ships an update every 2 months, Pasta Machine fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
