# Random Generator vs Random

Random Generator and Random both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Random Generator's written reviews are positive against 56% of Random's. Random's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 59). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Generator sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month 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.

Random holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random has 2.8K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Random Generator's written reviews are positive against 56% of Random's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
