Both send your voice to the cloud, both turn rambling speech into clean writing, and both cost $144 a year on annual billing. The differences are in the extras, the free plans, and what monthly billing costs. By the SpeechBee team. Prices checked on 12 October 2026. > ### The short answer > > - **Pick Wispr Flow** if you want a meeting Notetaker, stronger team and compliance controls, or cheaper month-to-month billing. > - **Pick Typeless** if you want Linux, translation as you speak, or voice commands that edit and ask about selected text. > - **Pick neither** if you want dictation that stays on your device. That is [SpeechBee](#a-local-alternative-speechbee), which we make. ## Side by side | | Wispr Flow | Typeless | |---|---|---| | Monthly billing | $15 per user | $30 per member | | Yearly billing | $12 a month ($144) | $12 a month ($144) | | Free plan | 2,000 words a week on desktop, 1,000 on mobile | Limited words each week, standard accuracy | | Where speech is processed | Wispr's servers | Typeless's cloud servers | | Platforms | Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android | Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android | | Cleans up and formats speech | Yes | Yes, plus self-correction and list formatting | | Tone per app | Context awareness | Different tones for each app | | Translate while speaking | Not listed | Yes | | Edit or ask about selected text by voice | Not listed | Yes, "Ask anything" | | Meetings | Notetaker on Mac and Windows | Not listed | | Teams | Shared dictionary and snippets, SSO, SCIM, HIPAA with a BAA | Team management on Pro, SSO, SCIM and HIPAA on Enterprise | | Discounts | 50% off for students and educators, 3 free months for students | Not listed | ## Price On yearly billing they cost the same, $144 a year. Month to month, Typeless is twice the price at $30. Wispr Flow's free plan is clearer about its limit, 2,000 words a week on desktop. Typeless says its free plan has limited words each week with standard accuracy, and Pro unlocks enhanced accuracy and priority access at busy times. Wispr also offers students three free months and then 50% off. ## Features Typeless leans into AI editing. It catches it when you change your mind mid-sentence and keeps your final version, formats spoken lists, translates into another language as you speak, rewrites selected text when you tell it to, and answers questions about text you highlight, even in read-only pages. Wispr Flow leans into breadth. It adds a Notetaker that records meetings on Mac and Windows without a bot, and it has the deeper set of team and compliance features, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and HIPAA with a signed BAA. ## Privacy Both are cloud apps. Wispr says audio is sent to its servers over TLS, transcribed, and deleted after transcription unless you turn on cloud storage. Typeless says audio and on-screen context are processed in real time on its cloud servers and discarded once the result is returned, with nothing stored unless you enable history cloud sync, and that it may share data with third-party AI providers to deliver some features. Both keep your history on your device by default. ## A local alternative: SpeechBee If what you want is the opposite of both, here is our pitch, with the facts on [our homepage](https://speechbee.app/). SpeechBee transcribes on your Mac, iPhone or iPad. Audio is never uploaded or recorded, and dictation works offline after a one-time model download. It removes filler words and applies formatting commands but keeps your own wording rather than rewriting it. It also reads selected text aloud with natural local voices, which neither Wispr Flow nor Typeless does. It costs $79 a year or $99 once, with 7 days free. It has no Windows, Linux or Android app, and no team plan.
