# Copyboard vs Paste Keyboard

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Copyboard at 71% against Paste Keyboard's 25%. Paste Keyboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (779 vs 14). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Copyboard sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Paste Keyboard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paste Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paste Keyboard has 779 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Copyboard's written reviews are positive against 25% of Paste Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Copyboard ships an update every 3 weeks, Paste Keyboard fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
