Stackboard

Stackboard is a clipboard manager that remembers everything you copy, including text, links, and more, so you never have to. iOS only lets apps read your clipboard when you're actively using them, so Stackboard works through a custom keyboard extension. Switch to the Stackboard keyboard from any app, tap what you need, and it's pasted instantly. No jumping between apps, no losing what you copied an hour ago. FEATURES • Full clipboard history, everything you copy is saved automatically • Pin your most used clips so they're always at the top • Search your entire history in seconds • One tap copy from anywhere via the keyboard extension • Auto expiry settings to keep your history clean and private • Optional iCloud sync to access your clips across all your devices PRIVACY FIRST Your clipboard data stays on your device by default. iCloud sync is strictly opt in. Stackboard never sends your data anywhere without your explicit permission.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stackboard at none against Float's 2. Stackboard also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
