# CopyPaste vs Pastey

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pastey at 100% against CopyPaste's 50%. Pastey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CopyPaste's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CopyPaste sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pastey sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pastey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CopyPaste has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of CopyPaste's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pastey's.

CopyPaste ships an update every 9 days, Pastey weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
