Where they're the same
Paste and Glaido both remember what you copy: text, links, images and files. Both let you search that history and paste an item back into the app you were in, and both try to keep passwords out of it.
Where Paste is ahead
Paste syncs your clipboard to your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. Pinboards keep the things you paste often, and you can share them. It also searches the text inside screenshots and photos.
Where Glaido is ahead
Glaido's Clipboard works on Windows and Linux as well as Mac, and it's free. You can also ask for things instead of scrolling: "find the tracking number I copied" opens the list with that search typed in, and "rewrite this" works on the item you highlighted.
Cost
Paste has no free plan after its trial. It's $29.99 a year on the website, $3.99 a month through the App Store, or $99.99 once. Glaido's Clipboard is free on every plan.
