Snipora vs Raycast snippets
If you already live in Raycast, its snippets are free and good. Snipora is for when snippets are the point.

Quick answer
Raycast’s snippets are free, expand by keyword, and support placeholders like the date, cursor and clipboard; syncing them between Macs needs Raycast Pro ($8 a month billed yearly). Snipora adds fill-in forms and choice lists, per-website rules, suggestions and Secure Input help, and syncs through your own iCloud Drive on every paid plan.

Where Raycast is the better pick

- You want one app for launching, clipboard history, windows and snippets.
Moving from Raycast
- In Raycast, run Export Snippets.
- In Snipora, click Import a file… and pick the JSON.
- Remove the keywords from Raycast’s snippets, or leave Raycast without them, so both don’t expand.
Snipora is free for up to 15 snippets, suggestions included. Unlimited is $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year, or a lifetime licence: $29.99 for the first 50 buyers (25% off), then $39.99.

- Can I use Snipora and Raycast together?
