The trial needs no card. Your key arrives by email the moment you pay, and Paddle handles checkout.

Only one of these bars keeps growing.

A dictation subscription at $12 a month only pays for the month you are in, so it never stops growing. Flit is bought once, so the second bar is the same height in year 3 as it was on day one.

Stop paying, and see what is left

Cancel a subscription and you are back to typing. Skip Flit's optional renewal and you keep the app for as long as you use it.

The Flit bar is $15 because the license is permanent and renewing is optional. If you renewed every year to keep getting updates it would be $45 over 3 years, not $15. That is the upper bound, and it is still $387 less than the subscription.

$12 a month is representative, not a quote from any one product. Real prices, each checked against that product’s own page, are on the comparison pages.

What one payment buys that a subscription cannot.

Nothing moves behind a paywall

The features you have on the day you buy stay yours. A renewal adds a year of new work. Skipping it takes nothing away.

It is not a service

Nothing in a dictation touches our servers. The models are on your Mac, the formatting is on your Mac, and an outage on our side never stops a sentence.

The incentives match yours

Nobody here needs your audio to be worth something. There is no engagement metric, no retention team, and nothing to upsell.

Questions about the price.

Something else? Email hi@flit.fyi and a person replies.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment buys the app permanently, for one Mac. It is $39, or $15 while the launch price lasts, and you never pay again unless you choose to. A subscription takes the software away when you stop. This does not.

What is the launch price?

Flit is $39. Right now the first 20 licenses are $15, and Lifetime is $39 for the first 20. When they are gone the price goes up. The price you pay is the price on the button when you buy, and a launch license is identical to a full-price one in every way.

What does Lifetime buy?

Every future version of Flit, with no renewal ever. Flit for Mac includes 12 months of updates and an optional $15 renewal after that, so Lifetime is for people who already know they will still be dictating in three years. It is $39 for one Mac while the launch price lasts, then $99, and it comes in packs for more Macs. Bought Lifetime when it still came with Vitals and Levers? Those licenses are still yours: enter your Flit key at vitalsmac.com/flit and leversmac.com/flit.

What happens if I never renew?

You keep the app, permanently, with every feature you already have. The renewal buys another year of new work, not continued access. Nothing you have is ever moved behind a renewal, and there is nothing to cancel because there was never a subscription.

Can I try it first?

7 days free, with every feature on. No card up front and no account, so the trial costs you nothing but the download.

Is transcribing recordings extra?

No. The Transcribe tab, which turns an audio or video file into a transcript on your Mac, is part of every license and of the trial. Tools that sell it as a Pro tier charge monthly for it. Here it arrived as a free update in 1.5, the way every update inside your year does.

How do updates work?

12 months of updates come with the purchase, delivered in the app. After that, another year is $15, optional, and you can skip it as many years as you like. Lifetime never asks. What ends is the flow of new work, never the app you already have.

How many Macs can I use it on?

One Mac per license. For more, both plans come in packs on one key, for 2, 5, 10 or 25 Macs, at a lower price a Mac. Moving to a new Mac is free whenever you like. Licenses bought before Flit moved to one Mac per license keep their two Macs.

Is there a student or teacher discount?

Yes, half price for students, teachers and school staff, on Flit for Mac or Flit Lifetime for one Mac. Email hi@flit.fyi from your school email and we reply with a one-use code to enter at checkout. Packs for several Macs are full price.

Do you have team or volume pricing?

Yes, as packs, each one key for that many Macs: 2, 5, 10 or 25, for a year of updates or for Lifetime. Choose the number of Macs on the card. More than 25 Macs? Write to hi@flit.fyi and we will talk.

Can I buy Flit with your other apps?

Yes. Fore Plus is $49 for Flit, Vitals and Levers, and Fore Insider is $99 for those and every app we release later. Each is one payment and one key, with every update, on one Mac for each app. For more Macs, raise the quantity at checkout.

Can I get money back for posting about Flit?

Yes, on Flit for Mac. Post about Flit on X, Reels, TikTok or Shorts and email us the link. At 10,000 views we refund half of what you paid, and at 50,000 views all of it. On X it takes 25,000 and 125,000 impressions. You keep your license. Lifetime licenses and packs are not included. The cash back page at /back has the rules.

Why $15 and not free?

Because the alternative business models are worse for you. Free tools with a cloud tier are paid for by your audio. Free tools with no tier get abandoned. One payment, no server to run, means the incentives point the same way yours do.

Your voice was always faster.

7 days free, then $15 USD once. No account, no subscription, nothing uploaded.
