# Text Expander vs ReplyKit

The clearest difference is monetization model: ReplyKit at free against Text Expander's freemium. ReplyKit also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Expander sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and ReplyKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Text Expander against 5.0 for ReplyKit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReplyKit has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Text Expander ships an update every 2 weeks, ReplyKit every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
