# Wispr Flow Pricing: Is Wispr Flow Free, and What Pro and Growth Cost > Wispr Flow has a free plan with a weekly word limit, and paid plans at $15 and $23 per user a month. What each plan includes, the student discount, and how Pat Simmons's free clone did against it, from Wispr Flow's own pages. By Pat Simmons · November 6, 2026 · 10 min read Canonical: https://www.aiformortals.co/blog/wispr-flow-pricing Yes, Wispr Flow has a free plan. It costs $0 and gives you speech-to-text in any app in 100+ languages, with a weekly word limit and limited Notetaker access (Notetaker is Wispr's meeting-notes feature). Pro costs $15 per user a month, or $12 a month billed yearly, and removes the dictation limit. Growth costs $23 per user a month, or $18 billed yearly, and adds single sign-on, admin controls and HIPAA compliance with a signed agreement. Enterprise is priced by quote. Students get 50% off Pro, educators 40%, and non-profits a discounted rate. Dictation runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. All prices are US list prices from wisprflow.ai/pricing and Wispr's plans help page, checked November 6, 2026. If $15 a month is the sticking point, Pat Simmons built a free, open-source clone called Murmur with Claude Code. In his side-by-side check it transcribed as accurately as Wispr Flow and came back faster, though he pointed out that his timing of Wispr Flow included extra delay. _Wispr Flow's four plans with annual billing selected. Billed monthly, Pro is $15 and Growth is $23. Screenshot of wisprflow.ai/pricing, November 6, 2026._ ## How much is Wispr Flow? Wispr Flow costs $0 on the Free plan, $15 per user a month on Pro and $23 on Growth, and paying yearly cuts those to $12 and $18 (Wispr says annual Pro saves 20%). Growth with the meeting Notetaker included costs more, and Enterprise is a custom quote.

Wispr's help page says it sets fixed prices in each of 24 currencies, so the number you see depends on your region, and existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at. New Enterprise agreements are annual. ## Is Wispr Flow free? Yes. The pricing page FAQ says "Flow is free and includes dictation and the Notetaker, with generous weekly usage," and you don't need a credit card to start. The pricing page itself only says "limited words per week," but Wispr's help article on the free limit gives the default numbers for each device: - Mac and Windows: a warning after 2,000 words a week, and new dictations blocked above 5,000. - Android: dictation slows after 2,500 words and stops at 3,000. - iPhone: dictation slows after 550 words and stops at 750. The count is one weekly total across all your devices, and unused words don't carry over. Wispr says these thresholds are defaults that "can change without an app update." Notetaker meetings don't count toward the word limit; they have a separate weekly meeting limit, and recordings under five minutes don't count toward that one. ## What do Pro and Growth add? Pro removes the weekly word limit and adds team features, and Growth adds the security and admin controls a company's IT team asks for. Both are priced per person. Pro ($15 a month, or $12 billed yearly) gets you unlimited dictation, unlimited Notetaker history, a dictionary and snippets you can share with teammates, a shared team workspace, central billing, team usage analytics, priority support and early access to new features. Wispr's FAQ says you can set up a team on Pro with no minimum number of seats. Growth ($23 a month, or $18 billed yearly) adds single sign-on with SAML (logging in through your company's account), HIPAA enforcement across the organization with a signed Business Associate Agreement (the contract US healthcare rules require), multiple email domains for one company, admin control over whether your team's data trains Wispr's models, and per-person usage reports. Dictation-only Growth leaves out the Notetaker; adding it brings the price to $33 a month, or $26 billed yearly. Wispr's pricing page currently offers dictation-only teams full Notetaker access at no extra cost through November 30, after which members move to a limited plan. Enterprise adds free IT admin seats, model training locked off for everyone, automatic user provisioning, audit logs, managed deployment, invoice and purchase-order billing and dedicated support. ## Does Wispr Flow have a student discount? Yes. According to the pricing page, students get 50% off Pro, educators get 40% off and non-profits get a discounted rate. Wispr's discounts help page says student status is recognized at signup from a .edu address or a supported university domain, and some recognized student accounts get a free annual Student plan with no credit card, though "it is not universal." Students whose email isn't recognized can send proof of enrollment to support instead. The same help page lists discount categories for educators, non-profits, military, senior citizens and accessibility support, each requested through Help in the desktop app or through web support. Wispr Flow's pricing page lists no promo codes. The only codes in Wispr's help center are partner rewards, such as a Zepto scratch-card code worth three months of Pro and a CRED reward code, and those can't be used on student plans or team accounts. ## What does Wispr Flow do, and which devices does it run on? Wispr Flow is a voice-to-text app: you talk, and it types clean, punctuated text into whatever app you're in, on Mac, Windows, iPhone or Android. Its features page names Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, WhatsApp and Cursor as examples, "anything with a text field." While you speak, it removes "um" and "uh," turns spoken numbers into formatted lists, adds punctuation from your pauses and catches corrections ("Let's meet at 2… actually 3" comes out as 3). It keeps a personal dictionary that learns names and jargon when you fix a spelling, and Snippets let you say a short cue to paste a longer block of text, such as a scheduling link. Styles change your tone by app, from formal in documents to casual in messages, but only in English and on desktop. For programmers, it recognizes file names in Cursor and Windsurf and keeps code formatting intact. Dictation works on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. The Notetaker, which takes meeting notes without a bot joining the call, runs on Mac and Windows only for now.

He calls Wispr Flow a great option if you want dictation that works the moment you install it, and in his side-by-side check a free clone he built came within what he called a "marginal" difference. In the video above, he says: "I have a lot of respect for Wispr Flow. They've built a great brand. I mean, their marketing is fantastic. And if you want something that just works immediately, it is a great option. But if you're trying to save money, if you're trying to own your own data, if you're trying to customize this to your liking, you can see just how easy it is to do." The video opens more bluntly, with Pat calling Wispr Flow "completely unnecessary" and the app "you're already paying $15 a month for," which matches Pro's monthly price. He'd been using his own Wispr Flow clone for a couple of months before he recorded it. To compare them, Pat had Claude build a window that runs one recording through three speech engines at once: Parakeet (Nvidia's speech model, which you download and run on your own computer), Apple's speech transcriber built into macOS 26, and Wispr Flow itself. Parakeet was fastest at 0.27 seconds, Apple's came second at 0.48 seconds, and Wispr Flow came third. The transcripts were about equally accurate in that example: Apple wrote "rent" for "rant," and Wispr Flow spelled its own name correctly. _The comparison window from Pat's test. Wispr Flow's 1.91 seconds likely includes some delay from reading its result out of Wispr Flow's database. From Pat's video, at 11:12._ Pat flagged the weak spot in his own numbers. Wispr Flow's time was read from its database, which likely adds delay, and he said that even taking a full second off, Wispr Flow "would still take 0.91 seconds versus 0.48 versus 0.27." His conclusion was that "the difference in speed and accuracy is marginal at best." It was one informal recording. ## What are the alternatives to Wispr Flow? The free, open-source alternative Pat built is Murmur, a push-to-talk dictation app for Mac: you hold a key, talk and let go, and the text appears where your cursor is. It transcribes on your own Mac with Apple's speech engine in macOS 26, so there's no API to call and nothing to pay. The code is on GitHub. Pat built it with Claude Code in a couple of prompts, running it inside Cursor (see Cursor pricing for what that editor costs). The full walkthrough is in how Pat built Murmur, a free Wispr Flow alternative, with Claude Code. Murmur needs a Mac on macOS 26 plus Accessibility and Microphone permissions, and its tool page describes it as a working skeleton that isn't notarized for distribution yet. Murmur and Pat's other free builds are listed on the tools page. _Murmur's main window, which Pat asked Claude to style after a 1980s tape recorder, with his dictation history. From Pat's video, at 13:49._ Other paid dictation apps have free plans too.

From wisprflow.ai. The download button goes to a sign-in page where you log in with Google, Apple, Microsoft, single sign-on or your email. The same page is where you log in to an existing account. Is Wispr Flow safe, and what happens to my voice? Wispr Flow transcribes in the cloud. Its data controls page says "Transcription always occurs on the cloud," and its privacy page says your audio is sent to its servers over TLS 1.2+ (encrypted) and "deleted as soon as it's transcribed, unless you've turned on Dictation cloud storage." Wispr says it never sells your data, that you can opt out of model training under Settings, Data and Privacy, and that training is off and locked on Growth and Enterprise. The pricing page lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification on every plan. How do I cancel Wispr Flow Pro? Wispr's FAQ says there are no commitments and you can cancel anytime under Plan & Billing in the desktop app. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you cancel in that store's subscription settings, according to Wispr's billing help page. What happens when I hit the free weekly limit? On Mac and Windows you get a warning after 2,000 words, and new dictations are blocked only above 5,000; on phones, dictation slows down first and then stops until the weekly reset (Wispr help). On Android, Wispr says a dictation already in progress is never cut off, and restarting the app doesn't renew your allowance. Superwhisper vs Wispr Flow: which costs less? Superwhisper costs less. Its Pro plan is $8.49 a month or $84.99 a year, and Wispr Flow Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year. Superwhisper also sells a $249.99 lifetime plan. Pat hasn't tested Superwhisper. What is Wispr Flow's valuation? In his August 20, 2026 video, Pat said Wispr Flow "just raised $280 million at a $2 billion valuation." Is there an open-source Wispr Flow? Yes, Murmur is open source, and its code is on GitHub. Pat's tool page suggests handing the repo to Claude Code or Codex and asking it to set the app up for you. ## Sources - Wispr Flow: Pricing (checked November 6, 2026) - Wispr Flow Help Center: Flow plans and what's included - Wispr Flow Help Center: Free tier weekly dictation limit - Wispr Flow Help Center: Request a Flow discount or fix student pricing - Wispr Flow Help Center: Manage billing, invoices and cancellation - Wispr Flow Help Center: Zepto promotion - Wispr Flow Help Center: CRED promotion - Wispr Flow: Features - Wispr Flow: Privacy - Wispr Flow: Data controls - Aqua Voice: Pricing - Superwhisper: Pricing - Typeless: Pricing - Willow: Pricing - GitHub: per-simmons/murmur-youtube - AI for Mortals: Free Wispr Flow alternative, how Pat built Murmur with Claude Code - AI for Mortals: Murmur
