Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Clipboard at none against Rar Sharp's shown. Clipboard also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Rar Sharp's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Rar Sharp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clipboard sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clipboard holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard has 464 ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Rar Sharp's written reviews are positive against 45% of Clipboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rar Sharp ships an update every 3 months, Clipboard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
