# Factopia vs Random

The clearest difference is ads: Factopia at none against Random's shown. Random's advantage is update cadence (every 8 months vs every 36 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Factopia ships an update every 36 months, Random every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
