Paste plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What the product covers
The full Paste feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Search and filter
- Setapp availability
People bring Paste in for someone who regularly copies something on their iphone, such as an address or code, and needs it moments later on their mac, a user organising reusable snippets like email signatures or boilerplate text into named pinboards, a team member already paying for setapp who wants paste included rather than purchased separately, anyone who has outgrown a local-only clipboard manager because they now work across multiple apple devices. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Paste are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Utilities
Too few utilities tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Paste badges page.
Before you pay for Paste
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $2.49/month. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Paste against the tools that do have one before committing.
Paste runs on mac, ios, and is published by Paste (Eltima-derived, now independent) of Independent developer. The full record is on the Paste review, and the rest of the category is under best utilities tools.
