Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sticky Terms at 88% against Typochondria's 34%. Sticky Terms also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Typochondria's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
