InsertKit says it works in 190+ apps, naming Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, Gmail, Discord, Slack, Cursor, VS Code, and Antigravity. Listed platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, web, Android, and an extension. The free plan includes 10 snippets and 30 clipboard history items, with no team access. Individual is $2.99 a month, Team is $3.99 a month, and Enterprise is $5.99 a month. One-time plans range from Individual LTD at $39, paid once to Agency LTD at $499, paid once.
