Plans and pricing
Evoglyph offers three plans:
- Monthly — $2/month. Recurring subscription.
- Yearly — $10/year. Recurring subscription.
- Lifetime — $20 once. One-time purchase, includes updates for the foreseeable life of the product.
The first 3,000 customers get 50% off with at checkout: $1/month, $5/year, $10 lifetime. On a subscription, the discount applies for the life of the subscription: you keep the discounted rate for as long as it stays continuously active. Lifetime is a one-time payment, so its discount is inherently permanent. Once the code is deactivated or its redemption cap is reached, standard pricing applies to new checkouts.
See the pricing section on the homepage for current plans.
How the trial works
The trial allows up to 3,000 transcribed words within 7 days of first launch, whichever expires first; after that, dictation is copied to the clipboard instead of injected until a license key is activated. A few details worth knowing:
- Counted at successful injection. The counter only increments when text is actually injected into your focused app. Silent dictations, failed injections, and dictations you cancel before completion do not count against your trial.
- Counted on your Mac, enforced server-side. Words are counted on your Mac, and the running total is synced to Evoglyph’s licensing service — keyed by a pseudonymous device hash, never your name or email — so the trial cannot be reset by reinstalling or wiping local data. Only the device hash and the single cumulative word count are sent; no dictation content, ever. See the privacy policy for exactly what the trial ledger stores.
- No card to start. The trial does not require a payment method. You only enter payment details at checkout when you choose to subscribe; there is nothing to cancel during the trial.
- You can see your remaining words in the menu bar tooltip.
When no license is active — after the free trial reaches its limit, or after a subscription ends or a purchase is refunded — Evoglyph keeps running but stops inserting text directly. Instead it copies each dictation to your clipboard so you can paste it, and prompts you to activate a license. Your settings, vocabulary, and history stay on your Mac.
Entering your license key
After purchase, you receive your license key by email. Open Evoglyph, go to the Account tab, click Enter your license key, paste your key, and click Activate. Evoglyph contacts its licensing service to verify the key and claim a device slot, then unlocks dictation.
To manage your subscription (update your payment method, change plans, or cancel), open the LICENSE section on the Home screen and choose Manage billing, or email [email protected]. We also handle plan changes by request, usually same day.
Changing plans
To upgrade, downgrade, or switch billing intervals, email [email protected] and we will make the change and confirm any applicable credit. When you upgrade, the remaining value of your current subscription is applied as a credit toward the new plan; a downgrade takes effect at your next renewal, and you keep your current access until then.
Early-access pricing is preserved when you change plans within the same tier family. If you move to a plan that removes the discount, the discount cannot be re-applied.
Device limits and self-deactivation
Each Evoglyph license covers two devices. To free a slot, open Evoglyph, go to the LICENSE section on the Home screen, and choose Deactivate this device: this releases the Mac you are currently using. The slot is released within a few seconds and another Mac can activate.
Evoglyph can’t reach a device you no longer have, so deactivate a Mac before you sell, return, or wipe it. If you lose access to a device while both slots are in use (for example a lost or stolen Mac), email [email protected] and we’ll free the slot for you.
Renewal and the 7-day grace period
Subscriptions renew automatically. If a renewal payment fails (expired card, declined transaction, etc.), Evoglyph enters a 7-day grace period:
- Evoglyph keeps working during the grace period; update your payment method from your account page (Manage billing on the web).
- Your tier and dictation are not downgraded during the grace window. You keep using Evoglyph normally.
- If the renewal succeeds within 7 days, nothing else changes.
- If 7 days pass without a successful renewal, your license is no longer active and Evoglyph falls back to copying each dictation to your clipboard, prompting you to re-activate. Evoglyph stays installed; update your payment method from your account page or email [email protected] to re-activate.
Cancellation
Cancel your subscription at any time by emailing [email protected]. After cancellation:
- Your subscription remains active until the end of the current period. If you cancel a yearly plan in month 6, you keep dictating until month 12.
- At the end of the current period, the license is no longer active and Evoglyph falls back to copying each dictation to your clipboard, prompting you to activate a license.
- Evoglyph stays installed and your local data (history, vocabulary, settings) is untouched. You can re-purchase at any time and pick up where you left off.
Lifetime purchases do not need to be cancelled; there is no recurring charge.
Refunds
Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy. To raise one, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase. When a refund is approved under the Refund Policy, here is what happens:
- No grace period after a refund. Once the refund is processed and the webhook fires, your license is revoked immediately. On next launch Evoglyph falls back to copying each dictation to your clipboard, prompting you to activate a license.
- Subscription refund. A refunded subscription cancels and access ends on processing, not at the end of the current period (that path is the cancellation flow above, which is different).
- Lifetime refund. The lifetime license is revoked and Evoglyph returns to the unlicensed state, copying each dictation to your clipboard until you activate a license. You can re-purchase at any time.
Local data (history, vocabulary, settings) is yours regardless of license state. A refund does not delete anything from your Mac.
Founders licenses
Explicit pre-launch testers and promo code holders receive a Founders license. Founders pricing is honored for the life of the product, regardless of changes to public pricing. If you have one, the in-app license screen will show Founders as your tier.
License troubleshooting
License is stuck on “Validating”
Evoglyph is waiting on a response from its licensing service. If it does not clear within 60 seconds, quit and reopen Evoglyph to retry; if it still does not clear, re-enter your key from the Account tab (Enter your license key → Activate). If it still fails, your network may be blocking the connection; see the troubleshooting article.
“Device limit reached” on activation
Your two device slots are taken. On a Mac you no longer want to use, open Evoglyph, go to the LICENSE section on the Home screen, and choose Deactivate this device to free its slot, then retry activation here. If you can no longer reach either active device (for example a lost or stolen Mac), email [email protected] and we’ll free a slot for you.
License says “Expired” right after I renewed
Evoglyph has not re-validated yet. Re-validation happens automatically — wait up to 60 seconds and try again, or quit and reopen Evoglyph to trigger a fresh check.
I cancelled but Evoglyph still works
That is correct. Cancellation lets you keep dictating until the end of the current period. When the period ends, the license is no longer active and Evoglyph falls back to copying each dictation to your clipboard until you activate a license.
