# Type Run vs FasTyper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FasTyper at 100% against Type Run's 21%. FasTyper also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). Type Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (31K vs 9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Type Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FasTyper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FasTyper holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Run has 31K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Type Run's written reviews are positive against 100% of FasTyper's.

Type Run ships an update fortnightly, FasTyper every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
