Typinator review

Typinator from ergonis is built for people who do not want their snippets in someone else's cloud. Snippets live on the device, and sync is optional through iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, a company NAS, WebDAV or any network location. It works across Mac apps and on iPhone and iPad, and it can expand plain text, images, dates, AI prompts, formulas and code. A typo-correction feature turns common misspellings of brand names or company terms into the right spelling. Pricing comes in three tiers: Basic is a one-time $59.99 for macOS on 2 devices, Advanced is $39.99 a year for macOS and iOS on 3 devices, and Business is $79.99 per user a year with 5 devices per user, central license administration and ISO 27001 compliance. All prices exclude VAT. Basic and Advanced are for private use only, and there is no Windows version, so mixed-platform teams should pick TextExpander or PhraseExpress instead.
