Verdict

The call

Text or Die and Typing Practice both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Typing Practice's written reviews are positive against 12% of Text or Die's. Typing Practice also leads on ads (none vs shown). Text or Die's advantage is ratings volume (212K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text or Die holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text or Die has 212K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Text or Die's written reviews are positive against 50% of Typing Practice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text or Die ships an update weekly, Typing Practice monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
