VoraClip vs Windows clipboard history (Win+V)
Windows 10 and 11 have clipboard history built in: press Windows key + V. It's free and fine for the last few things you copied. A clipboard manager keeps far more and lets you search it.
We make VoraClip, so read this with that in mind. Facts about other apps come from their own websites and documentation, checked on November 11, 2026. Prices and features change, so check their sites before you buy. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.

When Win+V is enough
- You only need the last few things you copied, and you don't need them after a restart.
- You want to paste between two Windows PCs signed in to the same Microsoft account.
When you'll want VoraClip
- You want to find something you copied last week, not just in the last hour.
- You take screenshots of errors, receipts or chats and want to find them by the words inside them.
- You also use a Mac or a Linux computer and want the same shortcut on all of them: Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows and Linux, ⌘⇧V on a Mac.
How to turn on Win+V
Open Settings → System → Clipboard and turn on Clipboard history. Then press Windows key + V to open it.
The short answer
Win+V is a good start and costs nothing. When 25 items stop being enough, or you need to search, try VoraClip free for 14 days.
No account or card needed for the trial. VoraClip runs on macOS 12 or later, Windows and Linux.
