Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Random Quote Free at none against Notable Quotes's 3. Random Quote Free also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Notable Quotes's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Notable Quotes sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Random Quote Free asks for nothing beyond the download.
Notable Quotes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notable Quotes has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Notable Quotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Random Quote Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Notable Quotes ships an update every 3 months, Random Quote Free every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
