# Clipboard vs Pockets

The clearest difference is rating: Pockets at 5.0 against Clipboard's 4.2. Clipboard's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clipboard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pockets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pockets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Clipboard ships an update every 10 days, Pockets every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
