# ContactFlow vs My Typewriter

The clearest difference is rating: ContactFlow at 4.5 against My Typewriter's 4.0. ContactFlow also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99). My Typewriter's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (133 vs 2). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ContactFlow costs $0.99 and My Typewriter $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ContactFlow holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Typewriter has 133 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of ContactFlow's written reviews are positive against 60% of My Typewriter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ContactFlow ships an update every 18 months, My Typewriter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
