PewBoard
Read full descriptionHide full description
PewBoard is the keyboard that makes every message feel deliberate. Open the globe: about 98 language families and 116 input methods—Zhuyin, Cangjie, Stroke, Shuangpin, 9-key, Jyutping, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese Telex, Indic layouts, and more. Real lexicons and real input logic, not flag icons. Then feel the board. Liquid Glass or Race. Tunable brightness, spacing, sound, and haptics. Candidates and follow-ups you control. Suggestion pages you swipe. Accents, flick, Esc—the details that separate “fine” from “I type here on purpose.” When words need power, tap an AI Expert. Grammar, pro tone, shorten, polite, casual, translate, summarize—or continue as story and poetry. One tap acts only on what you select. Presets are the starting line: describe your own expert in a sentence and grow a voice for work, creation, or replies. Typing and word lists stay on your device. Sign in for a free daily AI allowance; unlock more languages when you need them. Full Access only when you want sound, haptics, sync, or AI. PewBoard—built to win at typing, then at writing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PewBoard at none against Cat Keyboard's 4. PewBoard also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
