# 语鲸 vs TypeFast

语鲸 and TypeFast both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of 语鲸's written reviews are positive against 21% of TypeFast's. 语鲸 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (50 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 语鲸 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TypeFast sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 语鲸 against 4.8 for TypeFast. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 语鲸 has 50 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of 语鲸's written reviews are positive against 21% of TypeFast's.

语鲸 ships an update weekly, TypeFast fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
