Pastin
What it is
Pastin is a clipboard manager for iOS and macOS that keeps a searchable history of copied items and supports reusable snippets. Its free plan stores up to 50 clipboard items. Paid plans add unlimited history, pinned snippets and folders, widgets, themes, Shortcuts actions, smart format detection, and bulk export. The Pro Weekly plan is listed at $2.99 a month, billed weekly, and Pro Monthly at $6.99 a month, billed monthly; both list the same features. Pro Yearly costs $29.99 a year and is described as including everything unlimited. Pastin is freemium and offers a three-day trial. It supports iOS and macOS, but does not provide cross-device sync, so clipboard history is not shared between devices.

The verdict
Pastin offers clipboard search and snippets, with paid plans adding more history and organization features. The 50-item free limit and lack of cross-device sync are important considerations.
