Random creates a string of characters (of your choice) of a particular length. How to use this app: 1. Decide which characters you would like and enter them into the Allowed Characters field. Separate characters with a symbol of your choosing in the "Separating Character" Field. 2. Decide how long you want the output to be. 3. Click Generate! You can copy the output and paste it into another application if you like. You can even have your phone read it to you (using the speak feature). A couple of interesting ideas: - You could mimic a set of DNA nucleotide bases (a genome). Type in "A,T,C,G" as the allowed characters and set a high length (100). - You can create a dice by setting the allowed characters as "1,2,3,4,5,6" and setting the length to 1. - Imitate a flipping coin by setting allowed characters to "heads,tails" and the length to 1.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Random Number Generator! at 4.8 against Random Number & Text Generator's 4.3. The Random Number Generator! also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (936 vs 7). Random Number & Text Generator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. The Random Number Generator! sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Random Number & Text Generator asks for nothing beyond the download.
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 936 ratings behind it against 7, 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 91% of Random Number & Text Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Random Number Generator! ships an update every 3 weeks, Random Number & Text Generator every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
