Pricing
Celesa pricing.
Celesa pricing is the simplest in the category: the Mac app is free. Because it runs on your own computer, there are no servers to pay for, and so nothing to charge you every month.
One plan: free
- Unlimited dictation in every app
- Speech recognition and writing on your Mac
- Tone that adapts to chat, email, docs and code
- Dictionary, snippets and edit by voice
- Automatic updates
- No account, no ads, no tracking
What it costs elsewhere
For comparison, a year of Wispr Flow Pro on yearly billing costs $144 ($12 a month)1, and a year of Superwhisper Pro costs $84.99, or $249.99 for a lifetime licence2. Apple Dictation is free but does not tidy your text3.
What your Mac needs
- Apple silicon (M1 or newer)
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later
- About 2 GB of free disk space for the models
