Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Clipboard Manager at monthly against PBoard's every 15 months. Clipboard Manager also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (70 vs 1). PBoard's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PBoard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and Clipboard Manager sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clipboard Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard Manager has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PBoard's written reviews are positive against 78% of Clipboard Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PBoard ships an update every 15 months, Clipboard Manager monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
