Learning Touch Typing: I compared the top typing platforms, here's which one is best for what

Wait 5 sec.

There are tons of typing platforms out there. Some are purely for practice, some offer certificates, and some have extra stuff like games. So your choice really depends on what you're looking for. For example, Monkeytype is for people who genuinely love typing and are already flying at high speeds. TypingClub is definitely more kid-oriented.
