[01] OVERVIEW

Wispr Flow is cross-platform. OnType is macOS-native.

Flow spreads itself across four operating systems with a restrictive 2,000-word weekly free tier. OnType pours everything into one — macOS — with unlimited free local dictation and a lower Pro price.

[02] THE PROBLEM

What people struggle with today.

01

Restrictive free tier

Wispr Flow Basic limits you to 2,000 words per week on desktop and 1,000 on iPhone. OnType's on-device MLX engine is unlimited and free forever — no weekly caps, no trial countdowns.

02

Higher price for the same cloud accuracy

Wispr Flow Pro is approximately $8.25/month billed annually (₩11,200) or ~$10.30/month (₩14,000) monthly. OnType Pro is $8–9/month with unlimited free local dictation as the baseline. Similar cloud accuracy, better value.

03

Jack of all trades

Flow runs on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. That's great for multi-device users, but terrible for macOS power users who want system-level integration, native shortcuts, and Apple Silicon-optimized performance.

[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. Wispr Flow Pro is ~$8.25–10.30/month depending on billing cycle. You get similar cloud accuracy at a comparable or lower price, plus native macOS performance that cross-platform tools cannot match.

FEATURE 03

Your choice: local or cloud

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