# Copycan Lite vs Clipboard PRO

The clearest difference is rating: Clipboard PRO at 4.6 against Copycan Lite's 4.0. Clipboard PRO also leads on ratings volume (118 vs 7). Copycan Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (88% vs 60%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clipboard PRO sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Copycan Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
