# Font Diner vs Font Keyboard

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Font Keyboard at 75% against Font Diner's 14%. Font Keyboard also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 75). Font Diner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Font Diner sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Font Keyboard sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Font Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Font Keyboard has 2.3K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Font Diner's written reviews are positive against 75% of Font Keyboard's.

Font Diner ships an update every 8 days, Font Keyboard every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
