Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Typewriter at free with in-app purchases against Text2Pic's subscription. Typewriter also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Text2Pic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 52%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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. Text2Pic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Typewriter sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Text2Pic against 4.4 for Typewriter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text2Pic has 5.4K ratings behind it against 169, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Text2Pic's written reviews are positive against 52% of Typewriter's.
Text2Pic ships an update fortnightly, Typewriter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
