# Crazy Type vs Type Run

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). 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.

Both are free to download. Type Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Crazy Type asks for nothing beyond the download.

Type Run holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Run has 31K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Crazy Type's written reviews are positive against 21% of Type Run's.

Crazy Type ships an update every 2 days, Type Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
