# Type Run vs Happy Printer

The clearest difference is rating: Happy Printer at 4.6 against Type Run's 1.5. Happy Printer also leads on ratings volume (92K vs 2) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). Type Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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