Where is your audio processed?
Both apps use the cloud.
Typeless says on its data controls page that "transcription is performed on the cloud to ensure the highest accuracy and low-latency performance." It says audio and context are processed in real time and discarded once the result returns to your device, and that your voice audio is not stored. History text stays on your device unless you turn on optional cloud sync.
Wispr Flow says transcription always occurs on the cloud. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Wispr says it keeps zero data retention agreements with third-party AI providers. A setting called Dictation Cloud Storage controls whether Wispr stores your transcription data.
Neither page describes an offline mode or local transcription. If you need that, see the last sections.
How do the features compare?
Typeless describes itself as "voice dictation that turns messy thoughts into clear writing in any app." Its site lists filler-word and repetition removal, formatting of spoken lists and steps, tone that adapts to you, a personal dictionary, 100+ languages with detection and mixing, live translation, and spoken commands to edit selected text.
Wispr Flow lists speech-to-text in 100+ languages, a dictionary and snippets, and Context Awareness, which is on by default on Mac, Windows and iOS, reads your active app and text near your cursor to adjust formatting and spell names it sees on screen, and does not take screenshots. Command Mode edits selected text by voice on Mac and Windows, and you turn it on in Settings first. Transforms are in beta on Mac and Windows and apply built-in or your own prompts. Wispr Flow also has a Notetaker for meetings on Mac and Windows.
The feature lists overlap a lot. The practical differences are Linux support on Typeless, and Wispr Flow's Notetaker and its self-serve Growth plan with SSO.
How do the prices compare?
Prices are in US dollars from each company's own page, checked November 14, 2026. Prices can change.
| Plan | Typeless | Wispr Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, limited words each week | $0, with limits |
| Pro, billed yearly | $12 per member per month | $12 per user per month |
| Pro, billed monthly | $30 | $15 |
| Higher tiers | Enterprise, custom | Growth and Enterprise (see its pricing page) |
Neither page states how many words the Free plan allows. Typeless says Pro has unlimited words, and Wispr Flow says Pro has unlimited dictations. The big gap is monthly billing: Typeless lists $30 against Wispr Flow's $15. On yearly billing the two list the same Pro price.
Who suits each app?
Typeless may suit you if you:
- use Linux,
- want filler removal and tone matching with little setup,
- want your voice audio discarded after processing, and history kept on your device.
Wispr Flow may suit you if you:
- want a Notetaker for meetings on Mac or Windows,
- want team plans with a shared dictionary and snippets, or SSO without contacting sales (Typeless lists SSO only on custom-priced Enterprise),
- want the lower monthly price instead of paying yearly.
If you cannot decide, use both Free plans for a week with your own work. The weekly limits show how far each Free plan goes.
If you'd rather pay once
Both apps are subscriptions that process speech in the cloud. Dictop is a different route if you use Apple devices: US $6.99 once for lifetime on-device use on Mac, iPhone and iPad, with future app updates and new on-device models included. On-device models run after you download them, so your speech does not need to leave the device. There is a 30-day free trial with no automatic charge. Cloud models are optional, and credits are separate and do not expire.
Dictop has no Windows, Linux or Android app, and no team administration. For more detail, see dictation without a subscription, Wispr Flow alternatives and dictating on your Mac without internet.
Which should you try first?
Pick the one whose Free plan fits your platform: Typeless if you use Linux, Wispr Flow if you want meeting notes. If you want to pay once and keep dictation on your Apple devices, try Dictop free for 30 days, then pay US $6.99 once. See the Mac and iPhone and iPad pages.
