# For the most part, the Ran and the Rosh's words are the same, especially when elucidating Tosafot's position,<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei HaRan 13)</ref> but the Ran seldom quotes the Rosh, as the Rosh's work didn't reach the Ran.<ref>Shem HaGedolim (Gedolim, Nun 12). See Chiddushei HaRan on Masechet Shabbat (Mossad HaRav Kook edition, page 11)</ref>
# Tosafot Tuch wasn't available to the Ran until after he completed his commentary on Nedarim.<ref>Shem HaGedolim (Gedolim, Nun 12)</ref>

# The Ran wrote his Chiddushim on Shas when he was younger and his commentary on the Rif when he was older<ref>Matnat Yado 38</ref>, so it's possible that he came to a deeper understanding of a topic and changed his mind the second time around. Therefore, one should follow the commentary on the Rif if it contradicts the Chiddushim. The Yad Malachi extends this to the Teshuvot, as well.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei HaRan 10)</ref>
