# Random Generator vs Card Picker

The clearest difference is ads: Card Picker at none against Random Generator's shown. Card Picker also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Random Generator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 60%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Generator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Card Picker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Random Generator against 4.3 for Card Picker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Generator has 60 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Random Generator's written reviews are positive against 60% of Card Picker's.

Random Generator ships an update every 3 weeks, Card Picker every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
