Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Type Fast at Free against supertype's $1.99. Type Fast also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). supertype's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
