You can move between plans whenever you like, and the change takes effect immediately. Open Settings, choose Plans & Billing under Account, and pick the plan you want. When you switch, OpenWhispr shows you what you’ll be charged today before you confirm — you’re not agreeing to an unknown number.

​
What you’re charged when you switch

Billing is prorated, which means you only pay for what you use:
  • Upgrading mid-cycle — you’re charged the difference between what you’ve already paid and the new plan, for the days left in the current period. Not a full month on top.
  • Downgrading mid-cycle — the unused portion of what you’ve paid becomes credit, and it comes off your next invoice rather than being refunded to your card.
  • Monthly to annual — the same maths. Annual works out cheaper: Pro is $8/month or $80/year, and Business is $20/user/month or $200/user/year, so a year up front costs you ten months rather than twelve.
The figure shown before you confirm is the amount for today. Your regular billing date stays where it is.

Downgrading to Free

There’s no separate “downgrade to Free” — that’s cancelling. You keep unlimited local dictation and your own API keys, and OpenWhispr Cloud returns to the Free allowance.

FAQ

Your notes and transcriptions all stay. What changes is the allowance on OpenWhispr Cloud and the file size you can upload to it — see Plans and limits.
It usually catches up within a few seconds of Stripe confirming the change. If it hasn’t after a minute, close and reopen Settings. If it’s still wrong, tell us — that’s a bug, not something you should have to work around.
Yes — Business is $200/user/year. For teams, seats are managed in the workspace rather than on your personal plan.
