Free to use. Pay only for the cloud you choose.
The apps are free and everything works on the device. If you want Claude's quality for cleanup, editing, briefs and meeting summaries, buy credits and pay for what you use. There is no subscription.

VoiceMerge credits
Claude through VoiceMerge, with no keys to manage. Buy a pack; each request deducts its cost.
- Buy in the app through the App Store. Web checkout with a card is coming to /credits.
- Optional auto-refill when the balance runs low; turn it off any time
- Credits don't expire while your account exists
- A ledger of every request: purpose, model, cost
What a request costs
Each request is charged at the rate shown in the app, which is the provider's price for the tokens used plus our margin. The ledger shows every line. Roughly:
| Request | Default model | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning up a dictation | Claude Haiku | a fraction of a cent |
| Editing a selection | Claude Sonnet | under a cent |
| Distilling a few minutes of talk | Claude Sonnet | one to a few cents |
| Summarizing an hour-long meeting | Claude Sonnet | a few cents |
You can pick a stronger model per purpose in Settings; it costs more per request and the ledger says how much. A $10 pack lasts months for someone who dictates all day and summarizes a few meetings a week.
Why not a subscription
Most people never need the cloud tier: on-device cleanup is good for everyday dictation. The people who do want Claude use it unevenly, a lot one week and not at all the next. Charging per request means you pay for what you used and nothing else, and you can see where it went.
Refunds, codes and the fine print
- Purchases in the app are handled by Apple, under Apple's refund policy. We never see your payment details.
- Have a promo code? Redeem it in Settings → Account & credits for free credit.
- Credits have no cash value and aren't transferable. If we ever discontinue the service we give at least 60 days' notice and refund unused balances.
- Deleting your account forfeits any remaining balance, so spend it or ask for a refund first.
