Spokenly vs SpeakApp
This is the comparison where we lose the most lines, and it is worth saying first Spokenly gives dictation away — on your own machine, offline, unlimited, without an account. SpeakApp does not compete with that. It does the half that comes after: handing the AI’s answer back to you.
Line by line
| Spokenly | SpeakApp | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is built around | Dictation that costs nothing and needs no network. On-device models, unlimited, no account — and a second free plan for people who bring their own API keys. | The return trip. You dictate, the AI answers, and the answer is read back to you while you keep working — with a view of which session is still thinking. |
| Runs on | macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS, stated at the top of their pricing page. | Windows 10 and 11. Nothing else. |
| Offline | Completely, and for free: “Unlimited offline dictation, 100+ languages”, with no word cap, no trial clock and no credit card. | No. The transcription leaves your machine. Named subprocessors are published, and if working offline is your requirement, they answer it and we do not. |
| The free plan | Two of them, both $0 forever. The whole local product on one, your own provider keys on the other — and they say plainly they charge nothing for it. | 0 €, the whole product, with the volumes written down: 30 minutes of dictation and 50 answers read back per month, reset monthly. |
| Languages | 100+, on the free local models. | 40, and the language you speak can differ from the language that gets written. |
| What the paid plan costs | Pro at $8.33 a month, billed $99.99 for the year. The monthly-only figure is not in the page we can read — it sits behind their monthly/yearly switch. | 4 € a month to listen without counting, 12 € a month to also dictate without counting. Euros, not dollars. |
| What the paid plan adds | Cloud models with no keys to manage, real-time streaming, hosted text cleanup, settings synced across devices, priority support. | Volume, not features: the free plan already contains every capability, and the paid plans lift its monthly caps. |
| Teams | Several seats in one subscription, at a permanent 30% discount. | No seat management, no team billing, no discount grid. |
| Reading the answer back | Nothing on their site offers it. Their paid tier processes text; it does not play a reply out loud while you work. | The reason the product exists: answers read aloud, in full or summarised, while you do something else. |
| Several AI sessions at once | Not offered. | A control centre that shows which session is still thinking and which has answered, so you stop watching windows. |
| Accuracy | They name the cloud models they use rather than publishing a score. | We publish our own measurement, which you cannot check. This page relays neither. |
Pick SpeakApp if…
- The answer coming back is what costs you time. Dictation puts your words in. SpeakApp reads what the assistant wrote back to you — in full, or summarised — while your eyes stay on something else. Nothing else on this page does that half of the trip.
- You keep two or three assistants working at once. A control centre tells you which one has finished, so you stop cycling through windows to find out.
- You want the dictation as well, not instead. Every Windows text field, a personal dictionary that learns your vocabulary, 40 languages — with the reading and the voice commands on the same tool.
- You want euros, and the volume written down. The free plan carries every feature with a monthly volume rather than switching features off. Pro is 12 € a month.
Pick Spokenly if…
- You are not on Windows. macOS, Linux and iPhone are on their list; SpeakApp is Windows.
- Your audio must never leave the machine. They run on-device models with the network off. SpeakApp does not.
- Transcription is the whole job. Their free tier has no word cap. If nothing has to come back to you afterwards, that is all you need.
Sources, and one number we did not print
Every Spokenly figure above comes from their pricing page and their front page, reopened on 12 September 2026.
Their monthly-only price is missing here on purpose. The page as served shows the yearly side of a monthly/yearly switch. A figure that only appears after a click is not a figure this page has read, so it is named as absent rather than guessed — the French version of this comparison carries it, measured in the page itself. A price quoted from one position of a toggle is half a price.
Prices and platform lists in this category move monthly. When this page and their site disagree, theirs is right and this one is late — which is what the date at the top is for.
