Wispr Flow costs $144/year. Use it for 10 years and that is $1,440 USD — and your voice travels to the cloud the whole time. Phoenix Flow is yours for $47, once.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) running macOS 13 or later. A few extras, like the offline text translator, use Apple's newest on-device engines and need macOS 15+.
Correct. Dictation, transcription and translation all run on your Mac. The only time Phoenix Flow touches the network is when you press a Download button yourself, to fetch an optional language pack. Your recordings, transcripts and stats are stored only on your machine.
No. $47 once, use it forever. All features and packs are included, and early-access buyers get updates during the early-access phase for free.
You get an instant download (DMG file) plus a short step-by-step install guide with screenshots. Installation takes about two minutes.
Everything you build up — snippets, dictionary, history, stats — lives safely in your user folder, separate from the app. Delete the app, reinstall it a year later, and it all comes right back.
