# Whosnext vs Random

The clearest difference is ads: Random at none against Whosnext's shown. Random also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 276). Whosnext's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 55%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whosnext sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Random sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Whosnext holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 276, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Whosnext's written reviews are positive against 55% of Random's.

Whosnext ships an update fortnightly, Random every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
