Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Type Run at 4.1 against Crazy Type's 2.1. Type Run also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 128) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). Crazy Type's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
