What changed at Magical
As of October 23, 2026, Magical's pricing page offers "Book a demo" and "Contact Sales" instead of a self-serve plan. The company's site now markets AI agents for healthcare operations, such as prior authorization and payment posting. Magical's site describes its product as running in the browser and as desktop applications.
The Magical browser extension may still do what you need. If your team uses Magical's autofill with CRM data, a plain text expander will not replace that. But if you mainly used it to type saved replies faster, you have simpler options.
What you probably used Magical for
- Short shortcuts that expand to longer text: greetings, replies, signatures.
- Reusing the same text across Gmail, LinkedIn, help desks and web forms.
- Saving time on repeated typing without a heavy setup.
Clipboard History Pro covers all three, and adds a history of everything you copy.
Clipboard History Pro in short
- Text expander. Give any saved text a shortcut such as
:hi. Type it in any text box on a web page and it expands. 5 shortcuts free, unlimited on Pro. - Clipboard history. Every text item you copy is saved and searchable. Unlimited on the free plan.
- Favorites and tags to organize your replies and snippets.
- Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
- Pro: sync with other computers and the iPhone and Android apps, floating mode, the page widget, a passcode lock.
- Published price: free plan, or Pro at $5.99 a month or $60 a year, with a 14-day free trial. Teams of 10 or more: $59.99 per seat a year, with volume discounts.
