Both apps turn your voice into text in any app. The big differences are where your voice is processed and how you pay.
| Wispr Flow | Tap to Talkie | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Pro $15 a month, or $144 a year. Team plans $216–$312 per person per year. | $59 once (Founder launch price $39). Includes 12 months of updates; the app keeps working after that. |
| Free use | Free plan capped at 2,000 words a week on Mac; the iPhone allowance was cut to about 550 words a week on October 23, 2026. | Full 7-day trial, then no word limits. |
| Where your voice goes | Audio is processed on cloud servers. | Speech is recognised on your Mac. Audio never leaves it, and each recording is deleted right after. |
| Internet | Needed to dictate. | Not needed to dictate, e.g. on a plane. Internet is only used to download a speech model, check your license (at most once a day, never during the trial) and check for updates. |
| Platforms | Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. | Mac only (macOS 13 or later). |

When Wispr Flow is the better fit
- You need dictation on Windows, iPhone or Android, not just a Mac.
- You want one subscription across a team with admin controls and single sign-on.
- You're happy for audio to be processed in the cloud.
When Tap to Talkie is the better fit
- You want your voice to stay on your Mac, including client, patient or confidential notes. (We don't claim any compliance certification; we just don't send your audio anywhere.)
- You'd rather pay once than every month, and don't want a weekly word cap.
- You dictate offline: on planes, trains or patchy Wi-Fi.
Try it yourself
Turn on airplane mode, hold your key and talk. Tap to Talkie still types what you say, because nothing is sent anywhere.
