AnyFont website: https://www.anyfont.app Tutorial Video: https://www.youtube.com/@AnyFont-iOS NOTE: It is not possible to change the system-font on your device with AnyFont. With AnyFont you can install additional fonts on your device which can then be used by other apps which make use of the device's font book. NOTE II: Some fonts using Cyrillic or Asian characters may not be supported by this way of installing fonts due to their size. The maximum size of a configuration profile for a font is 20 MB. NOTE III: You don't have to purchase the optional font bundle to use AnyFont. You can always add your own fonts to install them on your device.

Build your own keyboard! Touchscreen keyboards don't need to be one-size-fits-all, so let's change that! With Keybuild, you choose the layout, the keys, everything. Keys can be set up to type whatever you want! Letters, greek letters (ɑ, β, ɣ), maths symbols (π, ∫, ∑), arrows (↑→↓←), or even your favourite emoji can be added and organised depending on your needs. Create multiple ‘panes’, each containing keys arranged using a stack-based layout, and switch between them with either an automatic menu, or direct links. Add a small number row to your Qwerty keyboard, or have a try using Azerty or Colemak layouts. Build a keyboard that can keep up with your maths-heavy university course, or specialist profession. Or just make a dashboard for your favourite emoji. Or do all that and more, it's up to you! This app does its best to supports VoiceOver, and accessibility APIs. Technical note: This app is 99% SwiftUI, which is as close as you can get while we wait for the ‘SwiftUI Lifecycle’ to come to Custom Keyboard Extensions! SwiftUI powers this app's advanced functionality, as well as some of its more unusual bugs. :) Disclaimer: This iPad app is available on Apple Silicon Macs, but macOS currently does not support keyboard extensions. Still waiting for that tablet Mac!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keybuild at none against AnyFont's 1. Keybuild also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 38%). AnyFont's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (26K vs 45). On 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
AnyFont costs $1.99 and Keybuild $3.99 up front. AnyFont sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Keybuild asks for nothing beyond the download.
AnyFont holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnyFont has 26K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of AnyFont's written reviews are positive against 73% of Keybuild's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AnyFont ships an update every 2 months, Keybuild fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
