How we checked
Where these prices come from
Every price below was read on the app's own pricing page on October 16, 2026. Not from a review site, not from memory, and not from an older check of ours. Where a page didn't show a number, the table says so instead of guessing. Prices are in US dollars unless a euro sign says otherwise.
The list covers Mac apps that use AI for dictation, for helping on your screen, and for meeting notes, plus Notion, since its AI comes with a plan. We left out the big AI labs' own chat apps. We make Koi, so it's in the table and first, and we say where others cost less.
We'll check again each month. When a price moves, the change log at the bottom says what changed and when.

What the table says
- Most of these apps have a free plan. Koi, Highlight AI, VoiceOS and Monologue start with a trial instead, and Koi's and VoiceOS's need a card. VoiceInk's page shows only paid licenses.
- Paying once is rare. Superwhisper, MacWhisper, VoiceInk, Spokenly's Local+, Alter and Koi's Lifetime are the only ones here.
- The cheapest way into local dictation is free: Superwhisper's and Spokenly's free plans use local models.
- Every meeting note taker here has a free plan, each with its own limit. On paper, Fathom's is the most generous: unlimited recordings.
- Koi's $20 a month is more than most of the dictation apps here. It also covers unlimited recorded calls and an assistant that sees your screen.
Prices are only half of it. Whether the speech is turned into text on your Mac or in the cloud, and what a plan caps, matter as much. Our best dictation apps for Mac and offline dictation apps lists cover that, and so do the pages on Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, Granola AI, Fathom, Highlight AI and Notion AI Meeting Notes.
Koi
What Koi costs, in full
Pro is $20 a month, or $192 a year ($16 a month). Either starts with a 3-day free trial, once per person, that needs a card. Lifetime is paid once, and its price climbs as it sells: $59 for the first 25, then $99 for the next 50, $159 for the next 100, then $199 for good.
Dictation, recorded calls, documents and the calendar aren't counted on any plan. Only Koi's AI is: Pro includes a monthly amount, Lifetime a one-off amount that never expires, and Koi credit tops either up from $10. There's no free plan. See the plans.
