Wispr Flow vs Superwhisper: which one to pick for dictating on your computer

In short
Wispr Flow and Superwhisper both dictate in any app on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, in more than 100 languages. Pick Wispr Flow if you want a free plan that already cleans up your text (2,000 words a week on desktop) or meeting notes on Windows too; Pro is USD 15 a month or USD 144 a year. Pick Superwhisper if you want to dictate offline, choose your own models or pay less: Pro is USD 8.49 a month, USD 84.99 a year or USD 249.99 once, and its free plan has no word limit. If you also work in Spanish, there's a short note on Loro at the end.
What they have in common
Both are voice dictation apps: put your cursor where you want to write, hold a shortcut, talk and let go, and the text shows up in whatever app you have open. Both run on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, dictate in more than 100 languages, and have a dictionary for your names and work terms.
Both record meetings without adding a bot to the call. And both offer company plans with single sign-on (SSO) and SOC 2 Type II security certification.

Where Wispr Flow wins
- The free plan already cleans up your text. With its 2,000 words a week on desktop, Wispr Flow removes filler words, adds punctuation and understands when you correct yourself. In Superwhisper, the modes that fix your text with AI are Pro only.
- Meeting notes on Windows too. Wispr Notetaker runs on Mac and Windows, labels who said what and answers questions about your meetings. It's on the free plan with a weekly limit. Superwhisper's meeting notes with summaries are Mac only.
- Editing by voice. With Pro, select some text and ask for changes or a reply (Command Mode). Superwhisper's commands on selected text change the formatting, but don't rewrite.
- Teams. Pro works for teams with no seat minimum, with a shared dictionary and shared snippets, and company plans add SSO. It also signs a HIPAA BAA on any plan and is ISO 27001 certified. Superwhisper quotes team pricing based on team size.
Where Superwhisper wins
- It works offline. With a local model, your voice is turned into text on your Mac, Windows PC or iPhone, and it stays there. Wispr Flow needs the internet to transcribe.
- Price. Pro is USD 8.49 a month or USD 84.99 a year, versus USD 15 or USD 144 for Wispr Flow, and there's a one-time option: USD 249.99 for life. Its free plan has no word limit, though the text comes out without the AI cleanup.
- Control. You pick the model that turns your voice into text and the one that cleans it up, in the cloud or on your device. You can write modes with your own instructions and use your own API keys.
- Files. With Pro, it transcribes audio and video files on Mac and Windows. Wispr Flow only transcribes what you say live.
- Meetings that stay on your Mac. With local models, the audio, transcript and summary stay on your computer, even offline.
- Windows on ARM, where Wispr Flow doesn't run.

Privacy
- Wispr Flow: turns your voice into text in the cloud and stores data in the United States. On the Free and Pro plans, it uses your dictations and meetings to improve its models unless you turn that off. You can choose not to keep your dictation history on their servers; meeting notes are stored in their cloud.
- Superwhisper: with a local model, audio and text never leave your device. With a cloud model, your voice is processed without being stored or used to train models. Out of the box it uses the cloud; you pick the local model yourself. Your recordings stay on your device and are kept unless you set a time limit.
Both are SOC 2 Type II certified and offer HIPAA contracts (BAA). Local vs cloud dictation: what changes.
