The best Superwhisper alternatives for Windows and Mac
In short
If you want something like Superwhisper, these are the alternatives worth a look in October 2026: Loro (Windows and Mac, works offline and also takes bot-free meeting notes; free or USD 9.99 a month), Wispr Flow (Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, cloud-based; USD 15 a month), Monologue (Apple only: Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch; USD 15 a month), and the free dictation in Windows (Windows + H) and on the Mac. If you want something simpler, without picking models, the closest is Loro.
Why look for a Superwhisper alternative
Superwhisper is very complete: you can pick from many models, in the cloud or on your computer, and write instructions for each case. These are the most common reasons to look for another one:
- Too many settings for someone who just wants to dictate.
- Meeting notes on Windows: Superwhisper's bot-free meeting notes with summaries are Mac only.
- Spanish: if you work in Spanish too, an app and website in both languages helps.
- Price: Pro is USD 8.49 a month or USD 84.99 a year, or a one-time USD 249.99.
