geojson-random

The geojson-random package allows users to generate random GeoJSON points, polygons, and lines. While it focuses on generating random features, it does not provide sampling capabilities like @turf/sample.

random-points-on-polygon

This package generates random points within a given polygon. It is similar to @turf/sample in that it can generate points within a polygon, but it does not offer the broader sampling capabilities from various feature sets that @turf/sample provides.
