Pastea

Pastea keeps the things you want to reuse in one searchable place on your iPhone and iPad. Save text, links, and images, organize them into lists, and bring them back when you need them. SAVE WHAT MATTERS Open Pastea to save supported clipboard content, or send items directly from the iOS share sheet. iOS limits background clipboard access, so Pastea does not continuously capture everything you copy. FIND AND REUSE CLIPS Search your history, keep important items close, and use the Pastea keyboard to insert saved content in other apps. STAY IN CONTROL Your history is stored on your device. Optional iCloud sync can make it available on your other Pastea devices through your private iCloud account. You can manage saved items and control analytics and crash reporting in settings. Choose when to start a free seven-day trial. The App Store confirms it at $0, and it does not renew or charge you automatically. When the seven days end, new clips still save locally, while viewing and using your history stay locked until you activate Pastea Lifetime with a separate one-time purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Copia at none against Pastea's 2. Pastea's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
