Fontcase is an app that lets you install custom fonts on iOS and iPadOS. 1) Import fonts from your iCloud Drive or Dropbox and add them to your collection of favorites. 2) Tap on any listed font and you'll get a preview of the characters along with other metadata. 3) When you're done collecting, install your fonts in Settings and they'll be available in other apps, including iWork, to make your documents look better than ever. Fontcase is completely open source, so your privacy is insured. The app only adds fonts to your settings and does not modify them at all in the process. For more information on why this is important, see the app's Help tab. Enjoy!

Smart Fonts has everything you need to customize your social media captions, bios, Instagram highlights, stories, and more. Stand out from the crowd on the busy, overcrowded social media apps with Smart Fonts. ———————————————————— Here’s what you can do with the Smart Fonts app: ● Smart Fonts allows you to use hundreds of custom fonts all from your iPhone ● Custom Fonts makes easy for you to stand out in a comment section on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, et cetera (which helps you to achieve one of top comments) ● You can use your custom fonts keyboard across any other app on your iPhone (every social media platform, email apps, in stories, and more) ● Customize your names on social media using fonts and symbols ———————————————————— ◆ Here’s what makes Smart Fonts different from our competitors ◆ The top custom keyboard apps all required you to give them full access to your keyboard (meaning, they could potentially be data mining every single key you press across all of yours app until you remember to disavow them access). We don’t want full access to your keyboard… we don’t want any sort of access to your personal data. Simply download Smart Fonts, enable the custom keyboard in your settings, and that’s it. You can now access all of the customizable fonts that the other big guys offer, and we’re not harvesting every single key that you press on your keyboard. If you’re using a keyboard app that is demanding that you give them FULL ACCESS to your keyboard, delete it immediately (especially if you do banking or sensitive things like input passwords on your iPhone). ———————————————————— If you want to help us fight against the big apps who shamelessly sell off their users’ data, please consider leaving Smart Fonts a review. Every single review helps and really makes a big impact on helping my app grow and reach more people in the App Store. ———————————————————— Smart Fonts Premium policy: Once you sign up to Smart Fonts Premium, you will have full access to all of Smart Fonts's features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Font Keyboard at 4.5 against Fontcase's 3.9. Font Keyboard also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 24 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 51%). Fontcase's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
