Typesy is the most complete paid course we compared. It teaches technique through video lessons, then reinforces it with exercises built around muscle memory and an adaptive algorithm that adjusts to your progress. Goals, a leaderboard, a dashboard and a certification program help you see improvements in words per minute and accuracy. One Typesy VIP plan includes 5 users and unlimited installs on Windows, Mac, iPad, Android and Chrome OS, which makes it practical for a household. The yearly plan works out to $7 per month, paid as $84, while monthly billing is $11. There is a 7-day free trial and no permanent free tier. Typesy also sells homeschool plans, with a Family plan at $6 per month billed yearly for one parent and two students. The plan bundles hundreds of hours of software and productivity training, which adds value for some buyers but is extra weight if you only want typing.
