Monologue pricing and what the Pro plan costs in 2026
Monologue has two plans: a free trial and Pro. The free trial includes 1,000 dictation words and 10 recorded notes. Pro costs 15 USD a month, or 144 USD a year billed annually (12 USD a month), and removes both limits. Monologue runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and Pro is also included in the Every bundle. These are the prices published on monologue.to at the time of writing, so confirm them before you buy.
What each Monologue plan costs
| Plan | Price | What you get | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | 0 USD | 1,000 dictation words, 10 recorded notes, offline transcription, context-aware formatting, 100+ languages | Testing the workflow before paying |
| Pro monthly | 15 USD per month | Unlimited dictation, unlimited recorded notes, bot-free meeting notes | Short projects and people who want to cancel any month |
| Pro yearly | 144 USD per year (12 USD per month) | Same as monthly, 20 percent cheaper | Daily dictation on Apple devices |
Monologue does not list a lifetime license, a student discount or a team discount on its pricing page, and it does not state a refund policy there. Read the terms linked in its footer if that matters to you. Pro is also included alongside other products in the Every bundle.
What Monologue costs over one and three years
Per user, with the cheapest billing option in each case.
| Option | 1 year | 3 years |
|---|---|---|
| Monologue Pro, yearly | 144 USD | 432 USD |
| Monologue Pro, monthly | 180 USD | 540 USD |
| VoiceTyping Personal, yearly | 84 USD | 252 USD |
| VoiceTyping Pro, yearly | 168 USD | 504 USD |
| VoiceTyping Team, yearly (per seat, from 3 seats) | 288 USD | 864 USD |
For one person, VoiceTyping Personal is 60 USD a year cheaper than Monologue Pro billed yearly, and 180 USD cheaper over three years. The trade is the limit: Personal includes 400 AI minutes a month, while Monologue Pro advertises unlimited dictation. If you dictate more than about 40 minutes a day, compare VoiceTyping Pro at 900 minutes, which is 24 USD a year more than Monologue Pro.
Is Monologue Pro worth paying for
It is worth it if you live on a Mac or iPhone, dictate heavily and like a native app with offline transcription. The free trial is generous enough to test your normal day: 1,000 words is a few emails.
It is less of a fit if you work on Windows, since no Windows app is listed, or if you want a fixed team plan with invoices for several people. VoiceTyping works in any modern browser on any system, removes fillers and applies an email, chat, notes or document style, and has a Team plan from 3 seats.
