# PasteMe vs CodeXplore

The clearest difference is rating: CodeXplore at 5.0 against PasteMe's 4.1. CodeXplore also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). PasteMe's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

PasteMe costs $2.99 and CodeXplore $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CodeXplore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PasteMe has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PasteMe ships an update every 7 months, CodeXplore fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
