Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clipboard at 4.4 against Flycut's 3.5. Clipboard also leads on ratings volume (478 vs 16). Flycut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clipboard holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard has 478 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Flycut's written reviews are positive against 33% of Clipboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flycut ships an update every 5 weeks, Clipboard monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
