Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Handwriting Keyboard ™ at 4.5 against Easy Malayalam's 3.3. Handwriting Keyboard ™ also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 7). Easy Malayalam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Handwriting Keyboard ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handwriting Keyboard ™ has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Easy Malayalam's written reviews are positive against 62% of Handwriting Keyboard ™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Easy Malayalam ships an update every 9 months, Handwriting Keyboard ™ every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
