What every plan includes
SnipVault has one feature set and three ways to pay for it. Unlimited, full-text-searchable clipboard history for text, links, images, files, colours, and GIFs. Screenshot OCR with ⇧⌘2 that reads any region of the screen on your Mac and keeps the image alongside the text. Snippets with :keywords and placeholders that expand in any app, with importers for Raycast, Espanso, and TextExpander. Nested pinboards, tags, the ⌘F explorer, the emoji library, the paste stack, and the caret picker. Password managers ignored, concealed content never stored, and one-time codes and card numbers that expire from the vault after 60 seconds. Every future update, including major versions.
Which plan should you pick?
Monthly is for trying it on a real project for a month or two beyond the trial. Annual is the plan most people land on. Lifetime pays for itself against Annual in under three years and is the right call if subscriptions bother you, which, judging by the reviews of every other clipboard manager, they do. One licence key covers up to three Macs you own, and moving between Macs is a deactivate and an activate in Settings.
What happens at the end of the trial?
After 7 days the app locks: capture, OCR, snippet expansion, and pasting from the vault pause until a licence is activated. Nothing is deleted. Your history stays on your Mac, you can export it from Settings at any time, and activating a licence brings everything back exactly as it was. Payment is handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record, so tax for your country is added at checkout and the licence key arrives by email within a minute.
FAQ
Pricing questions
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial of the full app. No credit card is required, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
What does Lifetime include?+
A one-time payment for the current app and all future updates, including major versions, on every Mac you own. There is no yearly update fee.
Can I switch from monthly to lifetime later?+
Yes. Buy Lifetime at any time and cancel the subscription; you keep the vault and settings.
Do you offer team or volume pricing?+
Yes. Email diljit@dprsoftwarelabs.com for teams of three or more; we offer per-seat lifetime licenses and invoicing.
How does this compare to Paste, TextSniper, and TextExpander?+
Paste is around $30 a year, TextExpander around $60 a year, and TextSniper about $8 once. SnipVault replaces all three for less than Paste alone, and you can pay once instead of subscribing.
Why pay when Maccy and Raycast are free?+
Maccy is a good free clipboard history for text, with a 999-item cap and no OCR or snippets. Raycast's free plan keeps clipboard history for three months. SnipVault is for people who want unlimited searchable history plus screenshot OCR and snippet expansion in one native app, and who would rather pay once than rent three apps.
How do I get my licence key?+
Checkout is handled by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record, which collects any tax for your country. Your licence key is shown after payment and emailed to you. Open SnipVault from the menu bar, go to Settings, paste the key, and press Activate. One key works on up to three of your Macs.
What happens when the trial ends?+
After 7 days SnipVault locks: capture, OCR, and snippets pause and the palette shows an upgrade card. Nothing is deleted. Activate a licence and everything you copied during the trial is back exactly as it was.
What is your refund policy?+
All sales are final. The 7-day trial is the complete app with no card, so you can decide before you pay. Subscriptions can be cancelled any time and keep working until the end of the paid period. Duplicate charges and undelivered keys are always corrected.
