Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speed Writing at 4.4 against Type Tower!'s 2.6. Speed Writing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Type Tower!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
