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 in-app purchases: Random Number & Text Generator at none against RANDOM.ORG's 6. Random Number & Text Generator also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). RANDOM.ORG's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 7) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RANDOM.ORG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Random Number & Text Generator asks for nothing beyond the download.
RANDOM.ORG holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RANDOM.ORG has 1.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of RANDOM.ORG'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.
RANDOM.ORG ships an update every 3 months, Random Number & Text Generator every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
