Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Micro Drive at none against Type Run's 1. Micro Drive also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Type Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
