CopyPasta vs Maccy
Maccy is a free, open-source clipboard manager that keeps things simple: a searchable list you control with the keyboard. CopyPasta does more with what you copy, with previews for every kind of item, text recognition in screenshots and a screenshot beautifier, for a one-time price.
