# Clipboard vs Paste Manager

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clipboard at 86% against Paste Manager's 50%. Clipboard also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 24) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Paste Manager's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clipboard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Paste Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clipboard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard has 1.8K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Clipboard's written reviews are positive against 50% of Paste Manager's.

Clipboard ships an update every 3 weeks, Paste Manager weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
