Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Type Fast at 63% against Type Run's 21%. Type Fast also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Type Run's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 521). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Type Fast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Type Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Type Fast holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Run has 31K ratings behind it against 521, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Type Fast's written reviews are positive against 21% of Type Run's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
