Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ClipMate at none against Elements.'s 3. ClipMate also leads on ads (none vs shown). Elements.'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
