Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScreenBridge at none against Paper's 9. ScreenBridge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). Paper's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
