# Paste vs Pasly

The clearest difference is rating: Pasly at 5.0 against Paste's 4.2. Pasly also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Paste's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). 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 Pasly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pasly 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Paste ships an update weekly, Pasly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
