Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Type Run at 4.1 against Type Course's 2.5. Type Run also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 2) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). Type Course's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
