Spokenly is the right pick if you want free local dictation and the BYOK model suits your workflow - you pay only the provider's per-call rate with Spokenly charging nothing extra for the routing. Its MCP server and Agent mode have no equivalent in Typilot and are genuinely useful for developer workflows. Typilot wins when you want AI inline in every text field (commands, polish, autocomplete), when meeting recap with speaker labels is part of the workflow, when Linux is required, or when you want a one-time lifetime license rather than a recurring subscription.
For voice dictation, yes - both run Whisper on-device so audio never leaves your machine on the local tier. Typilot adds 27 inline AI commands, text polish, meeting recap with speaker diarization, and AI autocomplete that Spokenly does not have. Spokenly wins on the free-tier price, BYOK cloud routing, MCP integration, and Agent mode.
Yes - the free tier runs Whisper Large-v3 and NVIDIA Parakeet locally with no word cap, no account, and no subscription. BYOK cloud transcription is also free at the Spokenly level; you pay only the provider (OpenAI, Deepgram, Groq, etc.) at their direct rate. The $9.99/mo Pro tier unlocks Spokenly-managed cloud transcription with no API keys to manage.
Yes. Typilot ships on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Spokenly supports macOS, Windows, and iOS - there is no Linux build at time of writing.
Spokenly ships a built-in MCP server that lets AI coding agents - Claude Code, Cursor, and others that support the Model Context Protocol - receive voice input as a tool call rather than a clipboard paste. It is a genuinely useful developer feature with no equivalent in Typilot. Typilot's 27 inline commands write AI output into the active text field instead of exposing a protocol endpoint.
