AgileFingers vs Typesy

AgileFingers is a free web platform for practicing touch typing through guided lessons, text exercises, games, and typing tests. It is intended for students, teachers, and anyone who wants to type faster. Users can upload up to five personal texts for practice; adding another removes the oldest. Keyboard settings support selectable layouts and custom key mappings. Programming lessons provide typing practice for syntax in Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, C#, Go, PHP, SQL, and Bash, rather than programming instruction. Flashcards combine typing with foreign-language vocabulary, progress levels, and recall prompts. Teachers can create classes, add students with access codes, assign lessons or texts, and review completion, speed, accuracy, and progress. Teacher reporting covers tasks created in that area, not other student activity. Class assignments go to the whole class, with in-class limits of up to 90 minutes and homework expiry dates. The Free plan costs nothing.

Typesy is a keyboarding and workplace training program for individuals, homeschool families, schools, and business teams. Alongside typing, it covers computer skills and workplace productivity through video instruction, structured exercises, games, progress tracking, and typing goals. Typesy says it adjusts lessons to a learner’s skill level and goals as progress changes. Individual subscriptions include a typing certificate and an employer verification service. Schools can provision and organize student accounts through Google Classroom, Clever, Classlink, or Canvas, or import students from CSV. The platform is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Pricing starts at $6/mo (annual), with a 7-day trial and no free plan. The downloads are intended for existing Typesy users, and the Android and iPad apps require a physical keyboard. Homeschool plans specify parent-teacher and student account counts, while Typesy for Teams requires at least 5 users.
