In their own words
Texpand
Texpand is an Android text-expansion app that turns a short shortcut into a longer phrase, such as a phone number, email address or stock reply. Phrase lists let one shortcut present several phrases for selection. It can insert dates in different formats and place the cursor where needed after expansion. The app offers extensive preference settings, Google Drive synchronization across devices and Tasker support in both plans. The Free plan costs nothing, allows up to 10 phrases and includes variables, phrase lists, Drive sync and Tasker. Premium costs $6.99 a month and removes the phrase limit while retaining those features. Texpand is currently available on Android. Its privacy policy says requested information remains on the device and is not collected by the maker. Third-party services named include Google Play Services, Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics.

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.
