Type less. Say more. LazyBoard turns the messages you send every day into one-tap keys, right inside your keyboard, in any app. Save replies once, then send them in a single tap: "On my way!", "Thanks for your order", your address, your email signature, support answers, and more. WHY PEOPLE USE LAZYBOARD • Reply 10x faster: insert full sentences, paragraphs and emails with one tap. • Templates that fill in the details: write "Hi {Name}, thanks for your order" once, then type the name and send. • A place for every phrase: organize replies into color-coded folders. • Paste photos & GIFs: save images and GIFs and send them from the keyboard or iMessage. • Clipboard folder: keep copied text and reuse it anytime. • Fast search: find any saved phrase in seconds. • Synced with iCloud: your phrases stay up to date on iPhone, iPad and Mac. PERFECT FOR Customer support, sales, small businesses, recruiters, real estate, delivery and anyone who answers the same questions every day. PRIVACY-FRIENDLY Your phrases work without Full Access. Photos, GIFs and the clipboard need Full Access, which iOS requires for those features. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud — never shared. Free to start. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited keys and folders, photos & GIFs, and sync. Questions or ideas?

Stop typing the same message twice. Fast Reply is a keyboard for iPhone that keeps your most-used replies one shortcut - or one tap - away. Texts, DMs, emails, support replies, marketplace messages: save it once, send it anywhere. TWO WAYS TO SEND A SAVED REPLY • Type a shortcut. Give a reply a short trigger like omw or addr, type it on the Fast Reply keyboard, and it expands into the full message right where your cursor is. • Or browse and tap. Forgot the shortcut? Bring your library up from the keyboard and tap the reply you want, without leaving the app you're in. WHAT'S INSIDE • Fill-in-the-blank variables. Add blanks like {name} or {date} to one reply and fill them in as you send, so a single template fits every conversation. • AI Assist. Reword any reply warmer, shorter, or more polished in a tap, on device on supported iPhones. • Folders inside folders. Organize by client, property, or project, and find anything with instant search. • Attachments. Keep a logo, price sheet, or link with a reply so the whole message goes out together. • iCloud sync. Your library on every device, always current. • Auto-fills. Greeting, date, time, and clipboard resolve themselves as you insert. • Randomized wording, so a reply you send fifty times a week doesn't read like a robot. • Share a folder with a private link. Whoever opens it gets the whole set, free. WHO IT'S FOR Realtors, photographers, online sellers, contractors, property managers, freelancers, support reps: anyone who answers the same questions all day. FREE AND PRO The keyboard is free, and so is sending the replies you already have, plus up to five you create yourself. Fast Reply Pro unlocks unlimited replies, autotext expansion, fill-in-the-blank variables, AI Assist, attachments, iCloud sync, and smart collections. Start with a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 a year or $2.99 a month. Prefer to pay once? Lifetime access is $39.99, with no subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://fastreplyapp.com/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://fastreplyapp.com/terms/ Save your first reply in under a minute. Never type it twice again.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Fast Reply at free against LazyBoard's subscription. Fast Reply also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). LazyBoard's advantage is ratings volume (588 vs 35) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LazyBoard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Fast Reply sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
