Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Type Flash at 74% against The Vehicles Typing's 29%. Type Flash also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 17). The Vehicles Typing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
