# Crazy Type vs Text or Die

The clearest difference is rating: Text or Die at 4.5 against Crazy Type's 2.1. Text or Die also leads on ratings volume (212K vs 128) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). Crazy Type's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text or Die sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Crazy Type asks for nothing beyond the download.

Text or Die holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text or Die has 212K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Crazy Type's written reviews are positive against 12% of Text or Die's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crazy Type ships an update every 2 days, Text or Die weekly. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
