Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Typing Practice at none against Type Flash's shown. Typing Practice also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 12 months). Type Flash's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 80) and review sentiment (74% vs 63%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Typing Practice sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Type Flash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
