Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Keywars at none against Speed Typer's shown. Keywars also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). Speed Typer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
