# Simple Pasteboard widget vs Clipboard PRO

The clearest difference is ads: Clipboard PRO at none against Simple Pasteboard widget's shown. Clipboard PRO also leads on ratings volume (118 vs 16) and device support (4 vs 1). Simple Pasteboard widget's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Pasteboard widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Clipboard PRO sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Pasteboard widget holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipboard PRO has 118 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Simple Pasteboard widget's written reviews are positive against 60% of Clipboard PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
