Verdict
Clipboard Manager and PBoard both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PBoard's written reviews are positive against 68% of Clipboard Manager's. PBoard also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Clipboard Manager's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (192 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
