Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Handwriting Practice at 5.0 against Cursive Practice's 3.9. Handwriting Practice also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Cursive Practice's advantage is ratings volume (113 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cursive Practice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Handwriting Practice sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Handwriting Practice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursive Practice has 113 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Cursive Practice's written reviews are positive against 50% of Handwriting Practice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cursive Practice ships an update every 5 weeks, Handwriting Practice weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
