3. Fleksy
If the first two options on the list were a little too minimal for your liking, try Fleksy. With over 5 million downloads and hundreds of positive reviews, Fleksy is a prime example of how a good user interface could get you to the top ranks. Fleksy isn’t known for nailing a single feature or gimmick, instead, it has them all covered modestly.
It comes with a good selection of GIFs, stickers, and emojis that you can send directly from the keyboard. Fleksy also has “mini-apps”, which are essentially glorified search engines for things such as memes, stickers, and more. There are also hundreds and thousands of themes to choose from, something that both Gboard and Grammarly fall short of.

4. Kika Keyboard
Kika Keyboard is a slightly new entry into the world of keyboard apps and has already taken off thanks to its exciting features. It has one of the most obnoxious, yet commendable themes store, offering looks that you would have never guessed. It also has built-in support for fancy fonts, which is something that we’ve never seen in any other keyboard application before.
Kika Keyboard also has support for the usual GIFs, emojis, stickers, and even textmojis. It has predictive emoji support that makes it a viable option for all the emoji fanatics out there. Kika Keyboard also has a one-handed as well as a split-layout mode to make typing easier on bigger screens. It has the ability to switch between 150+ different keyboard layouts such as QWERTY AND AZERTY and supports quick-switching between two languages.

5. Typewise Custom Keyboard
Ending the list, we have a very unique keyboard app for you to try. Typewise aims to help you completely reimagine your typing experience. It believes that by changing the traditional QWERTY layout to something more space-conscious, users will get much better at typing, making fewer errors, and increasing their typing speeds.
Typewise has a hexagon keyboard layout that is a complete departure from the classic QWERTY style, favoring bigger keys making it easier to type faster. The keyboard app is also very keen on offering the most secure and private experience, with a 100% offline mode that most other keyboards don’t offer. Typewise also has a bunch of themes you can use to change the look and make the keyboard truly yours.

Bonus: OS 14 Style Keyboard
We added a fun one at the end just to spice things up a bit. OS 14 Style Keyboard is essentially the iPhone keyboard for your Android device. It is very unexceptional at the beginning, but actually offers quite the fleet of features to mess around with. The keyboard uses cloud computing for better text prediction and auto-correct.
It also has support for over 150 different languages and offers the usual set of emojis, stickers, GIFs, and textmojis. Oddly enough, this keyboard has over 3000 themes you can choose from, but that sort of defeats the whole purpose of having this app installed on your phone, to begin with. Nevertheless, an iOS-inspired keyboard that does the job a little too well and one we can recommend to people with a weird taste in design!

Conclusion
That just about wraps up our list of some of the best SwiftKey alternatives. We feel that Fleksy is probably the most like SwiftKey in terms of features and design, but Gboard and Grammarly offer conveniences like no other app on the list!
