Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Type! at 4.8 against TapTyping's 4.3. My Type! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). TapTyping's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (601 vs 65). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
