TextExpander vs Web Text Expander

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.

Web Text Expander is a browser extension that turns typed shortcuts into saved replies, signatures, prompts, and templates. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Opera, running on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS wherever those browsers work. Shortcuts can use rich formatting, fillable placeholders, categories, caret control, clipboard insertion, and automatic dates. Quick search helps locate entries, while quick add creates them. The free plan allows unlimited shortcuts, import and export, and use on two devices per email. Plus costs €1.99 a month, billed 23.88 EUR yearly, and Team costs €4.99 a month billed monthly with a two-seat minimum. Team tools include shared libraries, administration, and usage insights. Snippets stay locally in the browser, and the maker says expansion happens on-device without reading, collecting, or transmitting typed text. It works on almost all websites, though custom editors may behave differently.
