# Clipboard vs Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clipboard at 86% against Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard's 43%. Clipboard also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 14) and device support (4 vs 2). Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clipboard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard has 1.8K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Clipboard's written reviews are positive against 43% of Pasteboard Copy Paste Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
