Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ThaiKey Learn Thai Keyboard at 88% against Trace Thai's 14%. ThaiKey Learn Thai Keyboard also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). Trace Thai's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trace Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThaiKey Learn Thai Keyboard has 55 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Trace Thai's written reviews are positive against 88% of ThaiKey Learn Thai Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trace Thai ships an update every 5 days, ThaiKey Learn Thai Keyboard every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
