Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Go at $11.99 against SnapType Pro's $399.99. Go also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 69%). SnapType Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SnapType Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapType Pro has 499 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Go's written reviews are positive against 69% of SnapType Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Go ships an update every 11 months, SnapType Pro every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
