# Ctrl+C vs FastCopy

Ctrl+C and FastCopy both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Ctrl+C's written reviews are positive against 40% of FastCopy's. FastCopy's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ctrl+C sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and FastCopy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Ctrl+C against 4.5 for FastCopy. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 22 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Ctrl+C's written reviews are positive against 40% of FastCopy's.
