Both are free to download. Typero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Type asks for nothing beyond the download.
Typero holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Typero's written reviews are positive against 100% of Type'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 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
