PickerWheel offers a polished wheel with several input modes, but you need to create a free account to save and manage your lists, and the page runs ads. RandomPicker's Random Wheel saves your lists privately in your browser with no login at all, and adds a coin flipper, dice roller, team generator, and number picker on the same site.
For everyday spinning without an account or ads above the fold, RandomPicker is the lighter option. PickerWheel is worth it if you specifically want its image and multi-mode wheel features with cloud-saved lists.

PickerWheel asks you to register a free account before it will store your lists. RandomPicker keeps your wheels in your browser automatically — no email, no password, no cloud.
Your names and lists never leave your device. There is no server-side account holding your data.
Coin toss, dice, team generator, student picker, and number generator all live on the same site, sharing the same fair randomness engine.
PickerWheel is the better choice if you rely on its richer input modes — spinning a wheel of images, numbers, or yes/no answers — and want those lists synced to a cloud account across devices.
