Clipbara vs ClipboardFusion

Clipbara is a macOS clipboard manager that keeps a searchable history of copied items, including text, rich text, HTML, images, links, files, and colors. Search can examine clip contents, titles, or source apps, with filters by type and date. Pinboards organize reusable clips, and Quick Look previews items from the history panel. Selecting a clip restores it to the clipboard for pasting into the active app. The maker says history stays locally and that the app has no account, server, or analytics. Capture, search, preview, and paste work offline, though the DMG build uses the network for Sparkle update checks. Users can exclude apps from recording and export or import histories as JSON. Builds are available from the Mac App Store, DMG, and Homebrew. The source is GPL-3.0, while the Mac App Store edition has a separate proprietary license. The DMG / Homebrew plan is free for macOS 14 Sonoma or later; a 7-day trial is listed for the App Store in-app purchase, and Clipbara Lifetime costs $7.99, paid once purchase for macOS 14.0 or later.

ClipboardFusion is a clipboard utility for cleaning up text, replacing clipboard contents, running macros, and syncing items across computers and mobile devices. Its Clipboard Manager presents history, pinned and online items, and macros; users can edit, search, reorder, pin, and sync items. Text formatting can be removed automatically or with a customizable hotkey. For custom transformations, users can write macros in the integrated editor using C#. Syncing requires a Binary Fortress Account, and the maker says data sent or received through Clipboard Syncing is encrypted using 256bit encryption. Listed platform options include Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, a Chrome extension, and web browsers. The Free plan is free, for personal use only, and does not include clipboard syncing. Each download includes a 30-day Pro trial, after which the free version remains available. Pro licenses are one-time purchases: Pro Standard is $19, paid once for one computer; Pro Personal is $29, paid once; Pro Site is $199, paid once; and Pro Enterprise is $899, paid once. Purchased licenses are described as lifetime licenses valid for future versions.
