PickOne vs a Random Number Generator
A random number generator can choose a number, but people decide between real options. PickOne lets the choices stay named and visible, which makes the result easier to accept.

| Input | Named choices | Numbers |

PickOne wins for practical decisions because the app chooses from the actual options. There is no need to map option 7 back to a restaurant or chore.
When a Random Number Generator still makes sense
A random number generator is fine for games, math, or any situation where numbers are the real output.
