Verdict
Type Fast and Speed Writing both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Type Fast's written reviews are positive against 0% of Speed Writing's. Type Fast also leads on ratings volume (523 vs 39). Speed Writing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
