Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deflector ◇ at none against TypesFast's 2. Deflector ◇ also leads on device support (3 vs 1). TypesFast's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
