Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Paste at Free against Renamer's $3.99. Paste also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 18) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Renamer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
