# Typero vs Type Fast

The clearest difference is rating: Type Fast at 4.4 against Typero's 3.6. Type Fast also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (521 vs 5). Typero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Typero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Type Fast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Type Fast holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Fast has 521 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Typero's written reviews are positive against 63% of Type Fast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Typero ships an update every 3 months, Type Fast fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
