# RANDOM.ORG vs Random Number Generator

The clearest difference is ads: RANDOM.ORG at none against Random Number Generator's shown. RANDOM.ORG also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 192). Random Number Generator's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RANDOM.ORG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Random Number Generator 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 — 4.6 for RANDOM.ORG against 4.6 for Random Number Generator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RANDOM.ORG has 1.3K ratings behind it against 192, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of RANDOM.ORG's written reviews are positive against 81% of Random Number Generator's.

RANDOM.ORG ships an update every 3 months, Random Number Generator every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
