# CloudClip vs ClipboardClear

The clearest difference is rating: CloudClip at 4.7 against ClipboardClear's 4.0. CloudClip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). ClipboardClear's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClipboardClear sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CloudClip asks for nothing beyond the download.

CloudClip holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudClip has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of CloudClip's written reviews are positive against 100% of ClipboardClear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudClip ships an update every 6 months, ClipboardClear monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
