Plans & Pricing

Try Stirae with a free 30-day trial — full access, no payment method required. The trial does not automatically become a paid subscription. After it ends, choose Pro or Max to keep going.

Trial

Your trial includes everything in the paid plans — local dictation, cloud refinement, translation, Profiles, Writing Styles, Vocabulary, and Voice Shortcuts. No features are locked.

The trial starts when trial access is first activated in Stirae; creating a sign-in account alone does not start it. It includes 100,000 cloud input tokens in total for refinement and translation across the full trial.

Stirae requires an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 13 or later. Productive dictation, including local dictation, requires a valid trial or paid entitlement. Offline use requires a valid verified entitlement on your Mac.

Paid plans

Cloud processing allowance

Pro includes 250,000 cloud input tokens per month. Max includes 500,000 cloud input tokens per month — twice Pro's allowance. These limits are the same whether you pay monthly or yearly.

Cloud input tokens measure the text and instructions sent to cloud AI for refinement or translation. Tokens are small pieces of text, rather than a word count or recording-time limit. Both features share your plan's allowance.

The paid-plan allowance resets at the start of each UTC calendar month, independently of your billing date. You can check usage and the reset date in Settings > Cloud Usage.

Local dictation, Voice Shortcuts, and managing Vocabulary or Profiles do not use the monthly allowance.

If you reach the limit, local dictation remains available. Cloud refinement and translation pause until your monthly allowance resets.

Pro vs. Max — which should you choose?

Both plans include the same features. The only difference is the monthly cloud processing allowance.

Pro — designed for everyday dictation with refinement and occasional translation. Good for most users.

Max — includes double the allowance. Better if you dictate heavily throughout the day, translate often, or use Full Rewrite frequently.

Managing your subscription

Open Settings > Plans & Billing to see your current plan details and choose available plan or billing-period changes.

Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled to stop renewal at the end of the current monthly billing period. Annual subscriptions have an initial one-year term. After that first year, you can cancel with one month’s notice and receive a proportionate refund for unused prepaid time after cancellation takes effect.

The self-service billing portal offers cancellation at the end of the billing period. For the annual-plan notice rule or another legally available termination date, follow our cancellation instructions; we handle these requests manually.

Read the Terms of Service and consumer withdrawal information before purchasing. We do not offer a voluntary money-back guarantee; statutory remedies and the annual-plan refund above remain available.

What happens when a plan expires

If your subscription expires, dictation pauses until the plan is renewed. You can still open Stirae, manage your account, and update billing. Access returns as soon as your renewal is confirmed.
