Bottom line
Text Blaze is a text expander that lets you type a short shortcut to insert a full message, with blanks to fill, dropdowns and data pulled from the page. Recruiters use it for LinkedIn InMails, candidate emails and ATS notes, and teams share snippet folders so messaging stays consistent. There is a free plan; Pro is $2.99/mo and Business $6.99/user/mo, both billed yearly.
Stands out for: Snippets are closer to small apps than canned text: forms, formulas, conditional rules and API calls, plus Autopilot actions that click and press keys for you. It runs in Chrome, Windows and Mac and has a recruiter edition with shared templates.
Watch out for: It does not send, sequence or track anything, so it speeds up typing rather than replacing an outreach tool. The free plan limits snippets and sharing, and team features such as usage reporting need Business.
Overview
Text Blaze is made by Blaze Today Inc and says 800,000+ people use it, with 1,800+ reviews on the Chrome Web Store. It works as a Chrome extension and as Windows and Mac apps.
You save text as a snippet and give it a shortcut. Typing the shortcut in Gmail, LinkedIn, Indeed, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Docs or any other text box swaps in the full message.
Snippets can include form fields, dropdowns, dates, formulas, conditional rules, images and tables, and can read content from the open page or call a web API. Autopilot simulates clicks and key presses to fill forms, and Data Blaze adds tables that snippets can read from and write to.
AI Blaze adds shared AI prompts you trigger with a shortcut on any page to draft replies, summarize threads or rewrite text. Its recruiting page focuses on shared, tested templates for each stage of hiring and on keeping messages on brand.
The free plan has limited snippets and sharing. Pro is $2.99/mo billed yearly ($3.49 monthly), Business is $6.99/user/mo billed yearly ($8.39 monthly), and Enterprise is priced on request with SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs.
