Why should one choose a paid typing program over a free one?

Hi Madeline!

Paid programs have lessons that fit all age groups, where skill assessments designate users to their corresponding levels. Others allow the manual adjustment according to user preference. In most cases, paid software release an assortment of editions that cater to a more inclusive audience while free typing programs lessons are mostly limited to specific audiences, usually for children.
