Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Node.js Lab at Free against PasteMe's $2.99. Node.js Lab also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). PasteMe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and chart position there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Node.js Lab is free to download; PasteMe costs $2.99 up front. Node.js Lab sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. PasteMe asks for nothing beyond the download.
PasteMe holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of PasteMe's written reviews are positive against 63% of Node.js Lab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PasteMe ships an update every 7 months, Node.js Lab every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
