Let us understand the Grammar behind the word “JazakAllah”
Jazaak comes from the root word jazaa' (جزاء) which according to the popular Arabic-English dictionary, Al-Mawrid, has two meanings that are completely opposite to each other.
Thus jazaa' (جزاء) can either mean reward OR punishment.
So “JazakAllah" may either mean "may Allah reward you" or "may Allah punish you",
while “JazakAllah Khair” means "may Allah reward you with the Best / Good"
So “JazakAllah" may either mean "may Allah reward you" or "may Allah punish you",
while “JazakAllah Khair” means "may Allah reward you with the Best / Good"
So the correct way is to say Jazakallah khair & not just JazakAllah.
Though someone might say that the intention by saying JazakAllah is the same like JazakAllahu khayran, if it's so, then why not use the complete wordings as used by Prophet(SAW)

Feminine: Jazaki Allahu Khair/Khairan

“May Allah reward you with good in abundance" as "Katheeran" means "abundance/abundantly".

Instead of Jazakallahu khair you may also use:

Plural: Barakallahu Feekum
Which means "May Allah bless you", which is an appropriate way of thanking someone and replying to someone who's said JazakAllahu Khair to you.

Masculine: Barakallahu Feek
Plural: Barakallahu Feekum

As a reply you may also say:
(Below are the replies to someone who has thanked you with JazakAllahu Khair or Barakallahu Feek)
Feminine- Wa Iyyaki
Masculine- Wa Iyyak
Plural- Wa Iyyakum
They all mean, "same to you".

Another reply could be

Translation: “May Allah reward you and me too (with the same)”

If someone has said "Thank You" or "Shukran" & did not used "Jazakallahu Khair" or "Barakallahu Feek" then reply them with "Barakallahu feek" or "Jazakallahu Khair", as replies like "wa iyyak" or "wa anta aydan" means "you too" & can't use that as a reply as it's inappropriate
