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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Fast Reply at free against WordBoard's free with in-app purchases. Fast Reply also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (86% vs 77%). WordBoard's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 34). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
