Both are free to download. Typr sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Type asks for nothing beyond the download.
Typr holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Typr has 78 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Typr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Type's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Typr ships an update every 2 months, Type every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
