Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Type Flash at 4.5 against Typing Practice's 1.0. Type Flash also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Typing Practice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
