As of November 2026, Wispr Flow's price for individuals comes down to two plans. The free plan is capped at 2,000 dictated words a week on Mac and Windows, and 1,000 a week on iPhone and Android. Pro costs $15 per user per month, or $144 a year if you pay annually, which works out to $12 a month. There is no lifetime or one-time purchase.
These figures come from several third-party pricing summaries that cite Wispr's pricing page and agree with each other. We could not confirm them on the official page, so check wisprflow.ai before you pay.
We make Gubb, a notes app with on-device voice-to-text that appears in the cost comparison below, so weigh our view accordingly. We've tried to be fair to every option here.
How much does Wispr Flow cost?
| Plan | Price (as of November 2026) | Cost per year | What limits it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 2,000 words a week on Mac and Windows, 1,000 a week on iPhone and Android |
| Pro, monthly billing | $15 per user per month | $180 | Subscription only |
| Pro, yearly billing | $144 per user per year ($12 a month) | $144 | Paid up front, subscription only |
| Team plan ("Growth") | Reported prices conflict between sources | Not confirmed | Check the current price with Wispr |
| Lifetime | Not offered | n/a | n/a |
On Pro, yearly billing saves $36 a year compared with paying monthly ($180 vs $144). If you already know you'll keep using Wispr Flow for a year, yearly billing is the cheaper way to pay. If you're unsure, monthly billing lets you stop sooner.
What the free tier includes and its limits
The free plan lets you dictate into the apps you're typing in, on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. What limits it is the weekly word count:
- Mac and Windows: 2,000 words a week. If you dictate on five days, that's about 400 words a day. Spread over seven days, it's about 286 words a day.
- iPhone and Android: 1,000 words a week. The sources disagree on Android: one says dictation there is unlimited. Check the app before you rely on either number.
If you dictate the odd message or a short email each day, the free plan may be enough. If you dictate long documents or use voice as your main way of writing, you'll hit the cap early in the week.
Trial: one review says a 14-day trial lets you test everything without a credit card. You can also simply start on the free plan and see whether you hit the cap.
Students: Wispr's own students page says Flow is free for students and offers 3 months of Pro for finals. Third-party pricing summaries describe it differently, as 50% off Pro for students and educators. Read the students page for the current offer.
What Pro adds
The clear reason to pay is the weekly word cap: Pro is for people who dictate more than the free plan allows. The pricing summaries we used don't give a full list of what else Pro adds, so if you're paying for one specific feature, confirm it's on Pro before you buy.
Here is what Wispr Flow offers overall, according to its site and the summaries:
- Dictation that works in any app on four platforms: Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.
- A personal dictionary, style and settings that sync across your devices.
- Support for more than 100 languages (from a third-party pricing summary).
- Wispr Flow Notetaker, a meeting tool, on Mac and Windows.
The sources don't say whether Wispr Flow works offline. If you need dictation without internet, ask Wispr before you pay.
What it costs over 1, 2 and 3 years
This table assumes today's prices stay the same, one user, US dollars, no discounts and no tax. All prices are as of November 2026. The Superwhisper prices also come from third-party pages that agree with each other.
| Option | 1 year | 2 years | 3 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wispr Flow Pro, monthly | $180 | $360 | $540 |
| Wispr Flow Pro, yearly | $144 | $288 | $432 |
| Superwhisper Pro, monthly ($8.49) | $101.88 | $203.76 | $305.64 |
| Superwhisper Pro, yearly ($84.99) | $84.99 | $169.98 | $254.97 |
| Superwhisper Pro, lifetime | $249.99 | $249.99 | $249.99 |
| Apple Dictation (Mac) | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Windows Voice Typing | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Gubb (Mac direct download, lifetime; dictates into its own notes only) | $59 | $59 | $59 |
What the numbers show:
- Over three years, Wispr Flow Pro costs $432 to $540, depending on how you're billed.
- Superwhisper's lifetime license costs less than two years of Wispr Flow Pro on yearly billing ($249.99 vs $288). Compared with Superwhisper's own yearly plan, the lifetime license only pays off at about the three-year mark.
- The free built-in tools cost nothing, but they work differently. The sections below cover what each one does.
- Gubb's $59 is less than five months of Wispr Flow Pro at the yearly rate. It does a narrower job, though: it doesn't type into other apps. Read its section below before you compare the two on price.
Subscription prices can go up over time. A lifetime license fixes your cost, but you're betting the app stays maintained.
Free and one-time-purchase alternatives
For a longer list, see Wispr Flow alternatives.
Apple Dictation (free, Mac)
Apple Dictation is built into macOS and works in any text field. To turn it on, open System Settings, search for "Dictation", switch it on and pick a shortcut. On a Mac with Apple silicon, dictation in supported languages is processed on the Mac and needs no internet. On an Intel Mac, or in a language without on-device support, your dictation is sent to Apple to be processed.
It's the first thing to try before paying for anything. Our guide to using dictation on Mac walks through setup, and Wispr Flow vs Apple Dictation covers when the paid app is worth it.
Windows Voice Typing (free, Windows)
Windows has voice typing built in. Press Windows key + H (Win+H) in a text field to start it. It works in apps such as Word, Notepad and your browser, and you can install extra voice typing languages. It only enters text: there are no notes, lists or other tools around it. See how to use voice typing on Windows.
Superwhisper (free plan, subscription or lifetime)
Superwhisper is the closest match to Wispr Flow if you want to pay once. Like Wispr Flow, it dictates into any app and runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. As of November 2026, Pro costs $8.49 a month, $84.99 a year or $249.99 once for a lifetime license. Other details from its download page and reviews:
- Free plan: one review says it includes small local Whisper models, 100+ languages, up to 3 custom modes and a 15-minute Pro trial.
- Offline use: it can transcribe offline as well as with cloud models.
- Requirements: the Mac app needs macOS 14 or later. Offline models run well only on Apple silicon; Intel Macs work best with its cloud models.
See Superwhisper pricing and Wispr Flow vs Superwhisper.
MacWhisper (free tier, one-time Pro)
MacWhisper is mainly for transcribing audio and video files on your Mac, and it also does dictation. It has a free tier. Several reviews give the direct-sale Pro price as €64, one-time, but sources disagree, so check macwhisper.com for the current price. Recent versions need macOS 15 or later, and reviews say it's Mac only.
Gubb ($59 one-time, dictation into notes only)
Gubb is a notes app with voice-to-text built in, plus clipboard history, timers, break reminders, to-do lists and math in notes. As of November 2026, it costs $59 one-time for a lifetime license from gubb.net, which includes future updates and activates on up to 3 devices. Voice-to-text uses a Whisper model that you download once in the app (Small is 480 MB) and that runs on your computer, so you pay nothing per minute and nothing monthly for transcription.
It is not a replacement for Wispr Flow:
- Notes only: text goes into the open Gubb note, not into other apps.
- No hotkey: there's no global shortcut to start dictating; you click the mic in the Gubb window.
- Language: local transcription is English only.
- Length: only the first 30 seconds of each recording are transcribed.
It suits you if what you dictate is short notes and ideas to yourself and you want the other tools in the same window. It's also on the Microsoft Store for Windows. You can try the Mac download free for 7 days, with no account needed.
Is Wispr Flow worth paying for?
It depends mostly on how much you dictate and where the text needs to go.
Pay for Pro if:
- You regularly dictate more than about 400 words per workday, so the free cap runs out.
- You need dictation in every app on Mac, Windows and your phone, with one dictionary and style across all of them.
- A subscription suits you better than a large up-front payment. Choose yearly billing if you're committed, since it saves $36 a year.
Stay on the free plan if:
- You dictate short messages and stay under 2,000 words a week on desktop.
- You're still deciding whether voice typing fits how you work.
Use the built-in tool if:
- You're on an Apple silicon Mac and Apple Dictation is accurate enough for you. It costs nothing and runs on-device for supported languages.
- You're on Windows and Win+H covers what you need.
Pick Superwhisper's lifetime license if:
- You want dictation in any app, prefer to pay once and expect to use it for two years or more.
- You need offline dictation on an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later.
Pick Gubb if:
- You want short English voice notes transcribed on your own computer, together with a scratchpad, clipboard history and timers, for one $59 payment.
- You don't need text typed into other apps.
