ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clipboard PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard PRO has 118 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Copycan Lite's written reviews are positive against 60% of Clipboard PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Copycan Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, Clipboard PRO monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
