# Random Generator vs Randomizer

The clearest difference is ads: Randomizer at none against Random Generator's shown. Randomizer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (270 vs 60). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Generator sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Randomizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Randomizer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 60 and 270 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Random Generator's written reviews are positive against 81% of Randomizer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Random Generator ships an update every 3 weeks, Randomizer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
