Speechfy

Pricing

Priced by the words.

What you dictate is transcribed and polished by Speechfy’s own service, so what a plan sells is words: how many of them you can say in a month. Every plan needs an account, because that is the thing doing the counting.

Every plan runs entirely in the EU — the free one included. Your voice reaches a European company’s hardware and nowhere else. That is not something a bigger plan buys, because there is no cheaper elsewhere we would send a free account’s words to.

Billing period

Showing monthly prices. Pro costs less by the year, and the line beside it is worked out from the two numbers on this page rather than typed in.

  • Free

    €0 a month

    2,000 words a month, resetting on the day of the month you joined. Nothing else about it changes.

    The whole loop rather than a demonstration of it: hold the key, talk, and the finished sentence lands in the app your cursor was already in.

    • 2,000 words a month, counted as they land.
    • Hold a key, speak, let go — into whatever app was in front.
    • The personal dictionary: names to expect, corrections to always swap.
    • One language, chosen once.
    • Notes as plain Markdown files, in a folder you pick.
    • An account. No card, and nothing that turns into a charge.
    • Runs entirely in the EU, exactly like the paid plans.

    macOS, Windows and Linux.

  • Team

    €15 per seat, a month

    Three seats minimum. Every seat is a whole Pro — 200,000 words a month, each.

    Everything in Pro, for everybody — and the three things a company needs that one person does not: people you can add, roles that mean something, and one invoice.

    • Everything in Pro on every seat, with each person's allowance their own — 200,000 words a month each, not a pool anybody can drain.
    • Invite by email. The invitation is bound to the address it was sent to, and only that address can accept it.
    • Three roles that mean something: an owner who pays, managers who invite and remove people, members who dictate.
    • Seats you add and take back, prorated by Stripe, on one invoice a finance department can file.
    • Usage per person for the current period, so you can see who is actually using it before you renew.
    • Nobody on the team needs a card of their own — and if somebody already pays for Pro, their account says so, so they can stop.
    • Runs entirely in the EU, exactly like every other plan.
    Create a team

    You need an account first; the team is started from it.

  • Enterprise

    Per seat

    Priced on how many of you there are, invoiced once.

    What a company needs and one person does not: the people, the paperwork, and one bill.

    • Everything in Pro, for everyone you add.
    • Roles and seats, managed in one place.
    • One invoice, a DPA, and a security review.
    • Models pinned to the EU, if your paperwork needs it.

What a company gets.

Talk to us priced per seat, invoiced once

Pro is one person’s app with one person’s card behind it. A company has to know who holds a seat, take one back the day somebody leaves, sign a data agreement before anyone dictates a word, and pay for all of it on one invoice. None of that is a bigger Pro, so it is not sold as one.

Talk to us

People

  • Add, remove and group people.
  • Roles — admin, billing, member — granted one at a time.
  • Seat assignment, and reassignment the day somebody leaves.
  • An admin view of which seats are being used, before you renew them.

Where it runs

  • Every model that touches your words runs in the EU — on every plan, not just this one.
  • No transfer outside the EEA to disclose, assess or sign clauses for.
  • Named in your DPA, so it is a term of the contract and not a promise on a page.
  • Written confirmation of the infrastructure and the providers behind it, for your security review.

Paperwork

  • One invoice for every seat, on your payment terms.
  • A DPA, signed before anyone dictates.
  • A security review answered by a person.
  • Help deploying to machines nobody signs into by hand.

Someone to talk to

  • A named contact, not a queue.
  • A first reply within one working day.

Row by row

A mark means the plan includes it. Every plan needs an account, because that is what counts the words. A Team seat carries exactly what Pro does, and adds the management around it.

Six questions

How does billing work?

By card, monthly or yearly, and the period starts on the day you pay rather than on the first of a month. Prices here are in euro and no VAT is added: Speechfy operates under the German small-business rule (Kleinunternehmerregelung, § 19 UStG), so the price on this page is the price you pay. Every payment leaves a receipt in your account the moment it goes through. Enterprise is the exception: one invoice for every seat, on your terms.

Can I cancel?

From your account page, in one action, without writing to anybody. Pro runs to the end of the period you have already paid for and then the account goes back to Free — it is not closed, nothing in it is deleted, and the same email signs back in if you return.

What happens when the words run out?

Dictation stops until your allowance resets or you move up a plan, and the app says which of the two it is waiting for rather than failing quietly. Your allowance runs a month from when it last refilled — on Free that is the day of the month you joined, on Pro the day your billing period renews — so nobody gets a short first month for having signed up on the 29th. Nothing you have already written is touched: your notes, your dictionary, your snippets and your history all stay exactly as they were, and the key works again the moment it resets.

Is there a refund?

Within 14 days of a payment, ask and it comes back in full — a yearly payment included, whatever you dictated in the meantime. After 14 days a monthly payment runs to the end of its month and stops there. A yearly one we will still talk about, because twelve months is a long time to be stuck with a decision you made in a minute.

What happens to my notes if I stop paying?

Nothing at all. Notes are plain Markdown files in the folder you chose, on your own disk, readable by anything that opens text — and Speechfy has never deleted one. The app keeps opening on Free and keeps showing them. What changes is how many words a month you can dictate into them.

How are Enterprise seats counted?

A seat is a person, not a machine: one person signed in on a laptop and a desktop is one seat. An admin can free a seat and give it to somebody else the same day, and the invoice counts the seats assigned on the day it is raised rather than everybody who has ever held one.

The small print

Requirements

macOS, Windows or Linux, an account, and a connection — what you say is transcribed and polished by Speechfy’s service, which is also what counts the words in your plan. Speechfy asks for Microphone and Accessibility the first time it needs them and says what each one is for.

Which models do that work is ours to choose, and it improves without you changing anything. There is no key to bring and nothing to pick.

Refunds

Ask within 14 days of any payment and it comes back in full, a yearly one included. Write to hello@speechfy.io; there is nothing to deactivate first and nobody will ask you why.

Licence

A Pro account belongs to one person. Sign in on as many Macs as you own — the allowance follows the account, not the machine. Enterprise seats are assigned by an admin and can be handed to somebody else at any time.
