MagLetters costs $1.99 and Type Letters $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Type Letters holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MagLetters's written reviews are positive against 50% of Type Letters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
