Pick by what you actually need.

Choose Superwhisper if you are Mac-only and want transcription that runs fully on-device, nothing leaves your machine, with a one-time lifetime price.
The features, line by line.
Superwhisper details are from public sources and may change; we update this page when they do.
Our genuine edges.
Five surfaces, not Mac only, the same account on Mac, iPhone, Android, Windows, and the web.
Cloud transcription using a full-accuracy model rather than a smaller on-device build.
Learning compounds: a per-term dictionary and a per-user writing memory both improve with use.
Refine is a writing coach, and the command bar brings rewriting and prompting to any app.
Context-aware formatting matches the app and field your text is going into.
The honest concessions.

Superwhisper runs fully on-device, nothing leaves your Mac, which Phrasora, as a cloud pipeline, cannot match.
Superwhisper offers a one-time lifetime price; Phrasora is subscription only.
Superwhisper lets you choose and download the transcription model; Phrasora runs one tuned pipeline.
