Boards vs textcuts: which is better?

Boards and textcuts are both keyboards that send saved content from any app. They solve different jobs, so this page compares them feature by feature.

Short answer: Boards is the better pick for a team that shares images, videos and files from one board with roles. textcuts is the better pick for text messages you personalize, with blanks such as a name, Hebrew gender forms, no account and no Full Access. Boards also has landing pages with forms, a web app and a Chrome extension; textcuts is text only.

Who should pick Boards

Boards is the better choice when the content is more than text, or when a whole team needs the same library.

You share images, videos, PDFs or voice notes, not only text.
A leader keeps a team board and members get the updates, with roles for who can edit.
You want landing pages with forms, a web app on your computer and a Chrome extension.

Who should pick textcuts

textcuts is the better choice when you write your own messages and the details change each time.

You fill in a name, a date or an address and want it done with one tap.
You write Hebrew and want one template that reads correctly for a woman or a man.
You want no account, no Full Access and a lifetime price instead of a subscription.
You mostly send text and want a free tier that never meters inserts and never blocks an import.

Using both

The two do not conflict. You can keep a team library in Boards and your own fill in replies in textcuts, and switch between the keyboards with the globe key.
