Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speed Type at 63% against News Typing's 11%. Speed Type also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). News Typing's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 29 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
