# uFocus vs Plain Paste

The clearest difference is monetization model: Plain Paste at free against uFocus's paid. Plain Paste also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). uFocus's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Plain Paste holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uFocus has 35 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of uFocus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Plain Paste's.
