Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ctrl+C at none against CopyPaste's shown. Ctrl+C also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 44%) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). CopyPaste's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Ctrl+C sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CopyPaste sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CopyPaste holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ctrl+C has 31 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ctrl+C's written reviews are positive against 44% of CopyPaste's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ctrl+C ships an update every 7 months, CopyPaste weekly. Both last shipped on September 20, 2026.
