Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monkey Typer at 100% against Type Fast's 63%. Monkey Typer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Type Fast's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Monkey Typer 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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Fast has 521 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Monkey Typer'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.
Monkey Typer ships an update every 4 months, Type Fast fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 7, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
