Ant Text vs TextExpander

Ant Text provides reusable Outlook templates for writing emails faster and keeping communications consistent. Templates can include text, subject titles, banners, pictures, tables, hyperlinks, and attachments. Ant Text 365 lets teams share approved templates and manage automated email workflows with Power Automate. Ant XL sends personalized bulk emails, with listed versions that include or omit a watermark. The product family also includes Ant Snippets, which expands saved text, links, replies, and AI prompts across apps when a user types a command and presses Space. Snippets are stored on the user's PC or Mac, and expansion does not require cloud storage. Ant Text supports Outlook Classic and Microsoft 365, including Outlook on PC and Mac and Outlook Web App. Ant Text Classic has a 14-day trial, while Ant Text 365 has a 30-day trial; a subscription is needed afterward. Ant Text 365 costs $14.99 a month per user, and Ant Text Classic costs $14.99 a month per machine. Ant Snippets has Free and Basic plans, each with limits on groups, snippets, and characters.

TextExpander turns short keystrokes into saved Snippets that expand across devices and apps. It supports macOS, Windows, Chrome, Linux through a Chrome extension, iPhone and iPad, and a web app. The Free plan lasts indefinitely without a credit card and allows five active Snippets; free users can swap one active Snippet every two weeks. Free sharing covers up to five team members across three teams. New accounts preview advanced features for 30 days, then move to Free automatically with five Snippets remaining active. Pro costs $5.00 per month per user when billed annually, and Business costs $10.00 per month per user when billed annually; both include unlimited active Snippets and teams. Paid plans add dynamic content such as date math and JavaScript. Enterprise has custom pricing and can include SSO, SCIM, and customized reporting. Support includes community and email, with priority support on paid plans. Prices are in USD and exclude tax; VAT or GST may be added at checkout.
