Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Type Flash at 4.5 against Typing Land's 3.5. Type Flash also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 130) and review sentiment (74% vs 62%). Typing Land's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Type Flash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Typing Land sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Type Flash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Flash has 1.2K ratings behind it against 130, so its average is the more settled of the two.
