# 브런치 vs MyTypes

The clearest difference is ads: 브런치 at none against MyTypes's shown. 브런치 also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (628 vs 33). MyTypes's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 브런치 sells 33 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MyTypes sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

브런치 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 브런치 has 628 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of 브런치's written reviews are positive against 95% of MyTypes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

브런치 ships an update weekly, MyTypes every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
