What it costs to run

After the licence you pay Deepgram directly, at about $0.008 a minute. At 10 minutes of speech a day that is about $28 a year, so three years cost $39 + $84 = $123. Superwhisper Pro billed yearly costs $84.99 a year, about $255 over three years. Its lifetime licence is $249.99. We have not checked what Superwhisper costs to run on your own keys.

New Deepgram accounts get a $200 credit, which covers that usage for about 7 years. The AI formatting is optional and uses your own key, so it adds a little more.

Choose Productive Voice if

  • You work on Windows only and do not want to pay $249.99 for a lifetime licence.
  • You want your own keys without choosing a higher plan.
  • You want one product with one price and no tiers.

Choose Superwhisper if

  • You dictate on a Mac as well. Productive Voice runs on Windows only.
  • You want a monthly plan you can stop at any time.
  • You want a product with a longer track record. Productive Voice is new.

What you get for $39

  • A floating pill over every Windows app. Press Ctrl Shift Space, speak, and the text lands at your cursor.
  • Raw dictation or formatted text. Raw dictation needs only a Deepgram key. Voices turn the same speech into an email, a note or a commit message.
  • Your keys, your accounts. Audio goes from your PC to your own Deepgram account. We run no servers for audio or text.
  • One device, lifetime updates. 30-day free trial with no card, and a 14-day refund.
