Pricing FAQ

Is there a free plan?

No. There's a full 7-day trial with no credit card, and waitlist members get 30 days at launch. After that it's €9 a month or €84 a year.

Why is the yearly plan €84?

€84 a year works out to €7/month, €24 less than paying €9 monthly for twelve months.

What happens when the trial ends?

Dictation pauses; nothing is deleted. Your dictionary, snippets, history and vault stay on your Mac. Subscribe and everything continues where it stopped.

Do you send proper VAT invoices?

Yes. Every invoice includes VAT. B2B customers can add a VAT ID at checkout for reverse charge.

How many Macs can I use?

All of yours. A license is per person, not per machine.

How do I cancel?

Two clicks from your account page. The app keeps working until the period you paid for ends.

Can I switch from monthly to annual?

Yes, anytime from your account page. Annual is €84, which saves €24 a year.

Do you offer student or non-profit pricing?

Email hello@penwright.ai with a few details and we'll get you sorted.
