Monkey Type vs MonkeyTypeHub: A Fair Comparison
If you’ve used Monkeytype before and are looking for an alternative, or you searched “monkey type” and landed here, this article breaks down what MonkeyTypeHub offers and how it compares.
Disclosure: MonkeyTypeHub is an independent typing test tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any other typing test platform.
The shared idea
Both tools are built around the same core concept: a free, fast, no-clutter typing speed test with timed and word-count based modes, live WPM tracking, and a clean interface that gets out of your way while you type.
What MonkeyTypeHub offers
- Four test modes: Time (15/30/60/120s), Words (10/25/50/100), Quote, and Zen (free typing with no timer).
- Punctuation and number modes for realistic, real-world practice.
- A consistency score alongside WPM and accuracy, so you can see how steady your pace was, not just your peak speed.
- A live results graph after every test, showing exactly where your speed rose or dropped during the run.
- A public leaderboard you can submit to with just a name — no account required.
- 20 color themes, including light and dark options, saved automatically in your browser.
- No signup, no account, and no paywall — the entire tool is free to use immediately.
Which one should you use?
Honestly, both are good tools built around the same proven format. If you already have an account and history built up somewhere else, there’s no need to switch. But if you’re looking for a fast, free typing test with a built-in leaderboard, a consistency score, and a wide range of color themes — without creating an account — MonkeyTypeHub is worth trying.
