Wispr Flow

↗

Wispr Flow is free for 2,000 words a week on desktop and 1,000 words a week on mobile. Unlimited dictation needs Flow Pro at $15 per user per month, or $12 per user per month billed annually ($144 a year). Students and educators with an education email get 50% off Pro.

That is the whole answer for most people. The rest of this page covers what the free cap feels like in practice, what Pro adds, the team tiers, and when a one-time Mac app is the cheaper fit.

Pricing checked October 10, 2026 against Wispr Flow's pricing page. Prices can change, and taxes are added at checkout.

Is Wispr Flow Free?

Yes, with a weekly word cap. The free plan gives you 2,000 words a week on desktop and 1,000 a week on mobile.

At a typical speaking pace of 130 to 150 words a minute, 2,000 words is roughly 13 to 15 minutes of talking a week. That covers a few emails and messages a day. It does not cover drafting documents, long AI prompts, or replacing most of your typing.

If you hit the cap by Wednesday, the free plan is a trial in practice, and the real price is Pro.

How Much Is Wispr Flow Pro?

Billing	Per month	Per year
Monthly	$15	$180
Annual	$12	$144
Annual, student or educator (50% off)	about $6	about $72

The annual plan saves 20% over monthly. The student figures are 50% of the listed Pro price; check Wispr's checkout for the exact discounted amount.

What Wispr Flow Costs Over Time

Subscriptions look small per month and add up over the years you keep dictating.

Tool	1 year	2 years	3 years
Wispr Flow Pro, monthly	$180	$360	$540
Wispr Flow Pro, annual	$144	$288	$432
Speakmac, 1 Mac	$29	$29	$29
Speakmac, 2 Macs	$39	$39	$39

Speakmac is a one-time purchase that includes 12 months of updates. Your version keeps working after that year; renewing for another year of updates is optional.

What the Subscription Pays For

Wispr Flow Pro is worth its price when you use what it is built around:

Every device. Flow dictates on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android from one account.
Cloud rewriting. Flow edits your speech into polished text, which suits people who want finished prose straight away.
Teams. Shared workspaces, and on higher tiers SSO, HIPAA agreements, and admin controls.
Notetaker. Meeting notes on Mac and Windows.

Wispr Flow's pricing page does not list offline dictation, and its help center covers connection errors that stop Flow from working. Plan on needing an internet connection.

When Speakmac Is the Cheaper Fit

Speakmac is a Mac-only dictation app. It answers a narrower question: you dictate on one or two Macs and do not want another subscription.

	Wispr Flow	Speakmac
Price	Free up to 2,000 words a week, then $12 to $15 a month	30 free transcriptions per Mac, then $29 once for 1 Mac or $39 for 2 Macs
Where speech is processed	Cloud	On your Mac, after a one-time model download
Works offline	Not listed	Yes
Platforms	Mac, Windows, iOS, Android	Mac only (macOS 14 or later)
Account required	Yes	No
Text cleanup	Cloud rewriting	Optional on-device cleanup for English

Choose Wispr Flow if you dictate across several device types, want cloud rewriting, or buy for a team. Choose Speakmac if your dictation happens on a Mac, you want audio to stay on the device, and you would rather pay once.

Accuracy Is a Separate Question

Price does not tell you which app hears you better. We ran the same 37 audio files through both apps in July 2026. On 27 real recordings, both scored 6.3% word error rate. Wispr Flow produced cleaner edited text, and Speakmac returned output on more clips. The full same-audio test has the method, clips, and per-sample results.

What people say after switching

I'm not a native English speaker but I use English a lot for work. The accuracy genuinely surprised me. Even when I mumble, restart sentences, or talk fast, it keeps up really well. It's lightweight, thoughtfully built, and works great in German as well, even with Anglicisms.

As a former designer of iOS apps, I can tell you: it looks really great.

It's improved a lot! I tried it with background noise using AirPods, and it captures text correctly. Even when playing a cricket commentator video, it captured the audio perfectly.

You can tell this was crafted with care - the animations, the simplicity, and the way it fits into macOS like it's always been there. Planned to use it daily.

I tried both Siri and SpeakMac. I spoke very fast with low volume.Siri couldn't understand, but SpeakMac did. That was my 'wow' moment.

The app is snappy and just works.

The accuracy is way better than I expected, and I love how seamlessly it integrates with Mac. I've been looking for something like this that doesn't feel clunky.

I didn't expect to use SpeakMac this much, but it's become my go-to for writing content ideas, captions, and quick drafts. It picks up my voice perfectly, even when I'm talking fast. It feels effortless - like my Mac finally understands how I work.

Dude i am lovin it. My productivity is really increased. Even a few times while speaking, if i mumble and re speak partial sentence, it understands that very well adjusts on its own.
