Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Type Flash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Typing Practice sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Type Flash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Flash has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Type Flash ships an update every 12 months, Typing Practice every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
