You would think that tape is just tape, but clear acrylic mounting tape is truly legions ahead of the foam version. I've tried both, and while the foam one works, the clear one is way more versatile.
Pros of acrylic:
* Strong adhesion, enough to adhere posters, wall accessories, and the like
* Easy to remove, comes off in one piece which is really important when you have an apartment or only want it to be temporary
* Clear color. Helps to hide it if you aren't just directly covering it
* Holds better in hot weather. I've used this to keep cables from moving in my car and this stuff sticks better when it's hot compared to the foam ones
* Way more waterproof than foam. I use it to mount a sponge holder and it's been great.
* Lasts way longer than foam. I've kept both inside a dry and cool drawer and I found that the foam one eventually loses its stickiness when just lying around. I won't fault the foam version too much since I've had it for a year or so inside the drawer, but the acrylic one stays sticky.
Cons of acrylic:
* More expensive per foot/meter. Not really an issue for me since I only use it sparingly, but might be a deal breaker for others.
* Foam versions usually have a higher weight limit. If you are mounting heavier objects, you might need to buy foam versions instead.
* Peeling and cutting is a pain. Scissors love to not cut properly from my experience and the film they use to prevent it from sticking to each other is unbelievably frustrating if you clipped your nails recently.
I love using this for posters, sticking cables onto the wall (which is a budget way of cable management, don't judge), and mounting things like hooks and a sponge holder.
