In their own words
Cacher
Cacher stores and organizes code snippets for individuals and teams, with snippets available online through desktop clients and a web app. Color-coded labels help organize a collection, while shared libraries let team members collaborate. Cacher syncs in both directions with GitHub Gist. Its VS Code extension can turn selected editor text into snippets or insert snippets from Cacher libraries; Slack tools can create snippets from messages, preview Cacher links, and send team activity notifications. Chrome and Firefox extensions save code examples from webpages. A local Run Server executes snippet code through the machine’s shell. Markdown editing with live preview and file or image uploads are listed, with attachment limits varying by plan. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 15 private snippets, three private labels, unlimited public snippets, 10 MB attachments, and 50 MB/month uploads. Expert costs $9.99 a month billed annually; Teams costs $29.99 a month billed annually for the first five seats, with extra seats at $8/month each. Self-hosted Cacher costs $5,000 a year plus $150/seat/year.
