# Typeshift vs BAIKOH

Typeshift and BAIKOH both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of BAIKOH's written reviews are positive against 50% of Typeshift's. Typeshift's advantage is ratings volume (499 vs 71). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Typeshift sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and BAIKOH sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Typeshift against 4.3 for BAIKOH. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Typeshift has 499 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Typeshift's written reviews are positive against 65% of BAIKOH's.

Typeshift ships an update every 6 weeks, BAIKOH every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
