People who want one mainstream dictation service across computers and phones.
The easiest default to shortlist when you move between Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android—but transcription is cloud-based and the free word caps vary by platform.

A strong fit for professionals and organizations that value centralized controls, but Android is still listed as coming soon and enforced privacy/compliance features sit on higher plans.
Check Willow Voice terms| Decision | Wispr Flow | Willow Voice |
|---|---|---|
| Public price | Free; Pro $15 monthly or $12/user/month billed annually | Free; Pro $15 monthly or $12/user/month annually |
| Platforms | macOS, Windows, iPhone/iOS, Android | macOS, Windows, iPhone/iOS; Android listed as coming soon |
| Processing | Cloud transcription is required. It is not an offline transcription app. | Willow says offline use is available, while its security disclosures also describe AI subprocessors. The exact local/cloud path depends on configuration and was not fully clear from the public pages. |
| Works where | Wispr says Flow works in every application on supported phones and computers. | Willow says it works anywhere you type. |
| Vocabulary | Personal dictionary plus automatic learning of unique words. | Dictionary terms; paid team plans add shared dictionary capabilities. |
| AI formatting | Turns speech into cleaned-up writing and adapts to personal style. | Frontier models clean dictation; Scribe turns spoken intent into drafted writing and Pro adds style memory. |
| Teams | Pro includes team administration; Enterprise adds advanced controls, SSO/SAML, and bulk pricing. | Business adds centralized administration and enforced privacy/compliance settings; Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, API, dashboards, and dedicated support. |
| Privacy path | Wispr says it does not train on dictation data. Its zero-retention setup requires Privacy Mode with Private Cloud Sync disabled; do not assume that posture from the default settings. | Willow says audio is not stored after transcription, transcripts are not retained by default, and data is not used to improve models without consent. Distinguish those claims from plan-gated enforced zero-retention and HIPAA controls. |
| Main watch-out | Transcription always happens in the cloud. | Android is not currently listed as available. |
