Choose Typeless if…
- The free tier is 8,000 words a week, the largest metered free allowance here, and it includes a personal dictionary and per-app tones rather than gating them.
- Typeless is not macOS-only: it covers macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, where VoiceGem covers macOS 14.4 or later and nothing else.
- Pro supports adding team members and shared administration, which VoiceGem has no equivalent for at any price.
What the annual commitment is actually buying
Typeless prices flexibility at $18 per member per month — the gap between $30 monthly and $12 on the annual plan. Hosted transcription has a real marginal cost, and an annual commitment makes that cost predictable for the vendor.
VoiceGem removes the question by running models on your Mac and charging once: $25, $39, $49 or $159 for one, two, three or ten machines. There is no commitment to discount because there is nothing recurring to commit to.
For a reader deciding today, the useful framing is that a year of Typeless month-to-month costs more than fourteen single-Mac VoiceGem licences.
What moving off Typeless costs in time
Typeless includes a personal dictionary on every tier and documents no export for it, so the word list is rebuilt by hand wherever you go. Tones and per-app settings are configuration you would revisit in a new tool anyway.
VoiceGem's dictionary and word replacements export with its settings, so the rebuild happens once. Cancelling Typeless stops the bill at the end of the term rather than immediately.
What Typeless costs monthly, annually and over three years
Pro is $12 USD per member per month billed yearly, which is $144 a year, or $30 per member per month billed monthly, which is $360 a year. Over three years that is $432 or $1,080 for one member.
The free plan stays available at 8,000 words a week with standard accuracy and standard access during high demand. A single-Mac VoiceGem licence at $25 is a one-time cost that never appears again.
What the Typeless free plan includes
8,000 words a week, voice to perfect text, translation, an "ask anything" feature, personal writing style and tone, a personal dictionary, 100+ languages, app-specific tones and whisper mode. The limits are standard accuracy and standard access during high demand.
That is unusually complete for a free tier and it deserves credit. VoiceGem's free tier is drawn differently: 15 minutes of recorded audio a day, every day, with no feature withheld and no accuracy tier below the paid one.
Where Typeless Pro adds team capability
Pro adds unlimited words, enhanced accuracy, team member management, prioritised feature requests and early access to new features, with Enterprise pricing available on request.
VoiceGem's Startup licence covers ten Macs for $159 once and is a device count rather than a team plan. There is no shared dictionary, no administration console and no collaboration of any kind, and this page would rather say that than let the ten-device number imply otherwise.
What people ask before switching
“The pricing on these apps is deliberately confusing — subscription or one-time, and it's never clear which.”
VoiceGem sells four one-time licences and nothing else: $25 for one Mac, $39 for two, $49 for three, $159 for ten. No subscription tier exists to be upsold into, and the free 15 minutes a day is not a countdown.
The whole price list, on one page →“My employer's code cannot go to a third-party server, so cloud dictation is out.”
VoiceGem's default engine runs on the Mac and the Deterministic Pass never leaves it. Cloud AI providers are opt-in and use your own key, held in the macOS Keychain. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you switch it on and supply the key yourself.
Which models run locally →“You do not support Windows, do you? Half my machines run it.”
No. VoiceGem is macOS 14.4 or later only, with no Windows build and none in progress. On a mixed desk that is disqualifying, and the cross-platform products in this comparison are the honest answer instead.
