Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Typing Practice at 5.0 against Type Run's 4.1. Typing Practice also leads on ads (none vs shown). Type Run's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 5) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
