Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Type! at none against Spellspire's 12. My Type! also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Spellspire's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 65) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
