Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Paste Manager at free with in-app purchases against Paste's subscription. Paste Manager also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Paste's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 24). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. Paste sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Paste Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Paste against 4.3 for Paste Manager. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paste has 1.3K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Paste's written reviews are positive against 50% of Paste Manager's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
