Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TypeStory at 4.5 against Choir Player's 3.8. TypeStory also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 12) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Choir Player's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Choir Player sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and TypeStory sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TypeStory holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TypeStory has 3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Choir Player's written reviews are positive against 63% of TypeStory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Choir Player ships an update every 2 weeks, TypeStory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
