# Paste Manager vs Pastey

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pastey at 100% against Paste Manager's 50%. Pastey also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and device support (5 vs 3). Paste Manager's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paste Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pastey sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pastey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paste Manager has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Paste Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pastey's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
