Grais vs Text Blaze (2026)

Start with price, because the gap is not subtle. Text Blaze Pro is $2.99 a month billed yearly, or $3.49 month to month. Business is $6.99 per user per month billed yearly. Grais Core starts at $29, roughly ten times the money. Grais stays free at 20 actions a week, resetting each week; that is metered access, not a time-limited trial. Text Blaze Free is free forever: 20 active snippets you can expand an unlimited number of times, plus in-page actions and both desktop apps.

Coverage is the wider gap. Text Blaze runs in any website in Chrome or Edge, and its native Windows and macOS apps put the same shortcuts inside every desktop application, including Word, Outlook, Slack and Notion. It works in WhatsApp Web and in LinkedIn, which their own site and their own support team confirm. Grais is a Chromium extension covering five web apps: WhatsApp Web, Telegram Web, Instagram, LinkedIn and Tinder. Nothing outside the browser, and the iOS app is still on TestFlight.

Determinism matters more than it sounds. A snippet expands the instant you type its shortcut and produces the identical text every run, with no model latency and no wording drift. If a compliance team signed off on that paragraph, that paragraph is what lands. Grais writes a fresh draft each time, which is right when the message is new and wrong when it is not.

Text Blaze also ships AI, and that is worth stating rather than skipping. AI Write sits in the snippet editor and generates or repairs snippets from a description you type. AI Blaze is a separate Chrome extension that triggers a model from a saved prompt library in any text box, with the content of the current page available as context by default. What no page they publish describes is memory carrying from one conversation to the next.

• You send the same words all day. Support macros, intake language and outreach templates are the job a snippet library was built for.
• You type outside the browser. The Windows and macOS apps reach Word, Outlook, Slack and Notion, where Grais cannot go.
• A team needs administration. Business adds roles and org-wide reporting, and Enterprise adds SAML SSO, SCIM and event audit logs.
• Budget decides it. Pro costs $2.99 a month billed yearly, and the free plan never expires.

A snippet is text you already decided on. Deciding is the hard part, and the library only helps a little: the {site} command can pull a name off the page you are on, but the library still cannot tell you what this person said last month or what you owe them. You still pick the snippet, and picking is the work. Grais starts a step earlier. It reads the thread open on screen, works out what this person is asking and drafts the reply in your voice.

Memory is what makes that possible. Grais keeps context across conversations, channels and time, so it knows who said what and what was promised to whom, and it recognises the same person on WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn and Telegram Web. It reads intent, tone and stakes, plans multi-turn sequences with fallbacks, and flags when someone has gone quiet. Promise tracking is what people notice first, because that is what slips.

Control is granted per contact rather than once for the whole product. Trust escalates from review, to voice approval, to known-safe autonomy, and Grais does not send a message or change anything without the trust level you set for that contact. A snippet is safe in a blunter way: it types and stops.

The limits deserve the same plainness. Grais runs as a desktop extension for Chromium browsers such as Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. There is no Firefox build, no Safari build and no mobile browser support. Grais on iOS is TestFlight and waitlist rather than the App Store, and the Mac app is planned rather than shipped. Supported surfaces today are WhatsApp Web, Telegram Web, Instagram, LinkedIn and Tinder.

Core is $29 a month and Pro is $79. Both carry the same agent, memory and public browser platforms; Pro raises the reasoning ceiling and adds pre-access to iPhone and Mac. The higher tier buys depth on the messages where tone decides the outcome.

These two rarely compete for the same keystroke. Anything you send repeatedly belongs in Text Blaze: the refund policy, the intake questions, the scheduling link, the standard rejection note. That text is already decided, and a shortcut beats generation on cost, on speed and on the certainty that the approved words land unchanged.

Reach for Grais on the messages where you would otherwise sit staring at the box. The client on LinkedIn who has gone quiet for three weeks. The WhatsApp thread where you promised something on Tuesday and now have to explain why it slipped. A concrete split: Text Blaze handles the twenty identical follow-ups, Grais handles the four that are not.
