Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Type Fast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Type a Book sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Type a Book holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Fast has 521 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Type Fast ships an update fortnightly, Type a Book every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
