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 features recommend snippets in the Chrome extension, and every plan, the free one too, includes MCP access for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot Studio (checked on textexpander.com on September 28, 2026).
Where Prompt Petal is different
- One click. Your prompts sit on petals around a small flower. Click the flower, 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.
- Petals per app. Different petals for ChatGPT, your editor and your team chat.
- Inside your AI apps too. Like TextExpander, Prompt Petal Plus is an MCP server, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Codex can use your prompts.
- Bring your snippets with you. Import a CSV, a Markdown file or a note, with its groups.
- One price for one person. Lite with five prompts, or Plus at $5.99 a month, $31.99 a year or $61.99 once on our website.
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.
