# Simple Pasteboard widget vs ClipboardClear

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ClipboardClear at 100% against Simple Pasteboard widget's 54%. ClipboardClear also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Simple Pasteboard widget's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads 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 ClipboardClear sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Pasteboard widget holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Pasteboard widget has 16 ratings behind it against 1, 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 100% of ClipboardClear'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 September 23, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
