If you love the Bible and want to practice typing, this is the app for you! You can type any chapter in the Old or New Testament, and the app tracks when you completed the chapter, and how fast you typed it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Type the Bible at 4.2 against Touch's 3.3. Type the Bible also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 59%) and device support (3 vs 1). Touch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 17 months). On price, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
