Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alpha Speed at 100% against Type Fast's 63%. Alpha Speed also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Type Fast's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Type Fast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Alpha Speed asks for nothing beyond the download.
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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Type Fast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alpha Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Type Fast ships an update fortnightly, Alpha Speed every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
