# Random Filter vs Cat IQ Test

The clearest difference is rating: Cat IQ Test at 5.0 against Random Filter's 4.2. Cat IQ Test also leads on ads (none vs shown). Random Filter's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Filter sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.59 per 7 days and Cat IQ Test sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat IQ Test holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Filter has 4.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Random Filter ships an update fortnightly, Cat IQ Test every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
