# Paste vs Pin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pin at 100% against Paste's 53%. Pin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Paste's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paste sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Pin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paste has 1.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Paste's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pin's.

Paste ships an update weekly, Pin every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
