A TextExpander alternative for AI prompts
TextExpander turns short abbreviations into longer text, or finds a snippet by search, on Mac, Windows, Chrome, iPhone and iPad. Snippets can fill themselves in or ask you to fill in blanks, and a team can share a library. The free plan is $0, Pro is $6 a user a month billed annually at $60, and Business is $12 a user a month billed annually at $120. Its AI feature recommends snippets in the Chrome extension (checked on textexpander.com on September 14, 2026).
Where Prompt Petal is different
- Nothing to remember. Your prompts sit in a ring around a small flower. Click it, pick a petal, and the prompt lands where you type, with the text you selected folded in.
- Made for AI prompts. Research, Rewrite, Shorten, Explain and Summarize come ready to use, and a petal can open ChatGPT or ask AI with your own key.
- Android too. Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS, all from one account.
- A ring per app. Different petals for ChatGPT, your editor and your team chat.
- Inside your AI apps. Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Codex can use your prompts over MCP.
- One price for one person. Free with five prompts, or Pro at $3.99 a month, $29.99 a year or $59.99 once.
When TextExpander is the better fit
If a whole team shares a big library of email replies and boilerplate, or you would rather type an abbreviation than reach for a button, TextExpander is built for exactly that.
