[01] OVERVIEW

Typeless works everywhere. OnType works best on Mac.

Typeless is a capable cross-platform voice tool with a generous 8,000-word free tier. But when you live on macOS, a native app built for Apple Silicon outperforms every wrapper — and gives you unlimited local dictation without a subscription.

[02] THE PROBLEM

What people struggle with today.

01

The cross-platform tax

Typeless runs on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. That broad compatibility comes at a cost: deeper OS integration, lower latency, and native feel are always compromised.

02

Free tier has a ceiling

Typeless Free limits you to 8,000 words per week. OnType's on-device MLX engine has no word limits — dictate as much as you want, every day, for free. Upgrade to Cloud Engine Pro only when you want maximum accuracy, not because you hit a cap.

03

Pro costs more, works the same

Typeless Pro is $12/month billed annually ($30/month monthly). OnType Pro is $8–9/month with a free unlimited local engine. Same cloud accuracy, lower price, and your data never leaves your Mac unless you choose to.

[03] THE SOLUTION

How OnType solves it.

FEATURE 01

Unlimited free local dictation

OnType's on-device MLX engine has no word limits, no weekly caps, no credit counters. Dictate as much as you want, every day, for free. Cloud Engine Pro is an upgrade, not a necessity.

FEATURE 02

Lower price, native performance

OnType Pro is $8–9/month — less than Typeless Pro at $12/month annual. And you get Apple Silicon-optimized MLX, not a cross-platform wrapper running in a web view.

FEATURE 03

Your choice: local or cloud

Typeless routes all dictation through the cloud even on the free tier. OnType runs AI locally for free and lets you upgrade to Cloud Engine Pro only when you want server-grade accuracy. You control when and if your data leaves your Mac.
