# Type Run vs Typing Practice

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 update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). 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 Typing Practice sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Typing Practice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Run has 31K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Type Run ships an update fortnightly, Typing Practice monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
