Ratatype review

Ratatype is a typing tutor first, with game features layered on top. You pick a course in English, Spanish, French, Polish or Ukrainian, work through exercises that award a star, a target and a lightning bolt for completion, accuracy and speed, and can switch to a game mode that earns coins to buy new heroes. Two standalone games, Ratashooter and Ratarace, add arcade practice. Ratatype's typing test can produce a personal certificate to show employers, which is its clearest difference from the other picks. Teachers can use it free with Google Classroom sync. Ratatype Plus adds unlimited exercises, no ads, certificates and dark mode for $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year. The tradeoff is that the free tier has limits that Plus removes, and Plus costs more than the other upgrades here. We compared documented features and published prices only.
