Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Random Number Generator! at 4.8 against Random's 4.3. The Random Number Generator! also leads on ratings volume (863 vs 6) and device support (5 vs 2). Random's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Random Number Generator! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Random Number Generator! has 863 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of The Random Number Generator!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Random's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
