# AutoPaste vs Castly+

AutoPaste and Castly+ both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of AutoPaste's written reviews are positive against 35% of Castly+'s. AutoPaste also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (125K vs 14K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AutoPaste sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Castly+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for AutoPaste against 4.7 for Castly+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AutoPaste has 125K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of AutoPaste's written reviews are positive against 35% of Castly+'s.

AutoPaste ships an update monthly, Castly+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
