Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SharkPaste at 5.0 against Paste's 4.2. SharkPaste also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). Paste's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
