Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Paste at 4.2 against Statcounter's 3.0. Paste also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 27). Statcounter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
