Student, education, military, non-profit and accessibility discounts

We offer 40% off for 12 months in five categories. One policy, one way to ask, whichever category fits you:

​
How to request one

Email support@openwhispr.com with:
  1. The subject line from the table, exactly as written — it routes your request straight to review.
  2. Your full name and the email on your OpenWhispr account.
  3. Your proof attached, per the table. Feel free to cover any sensitive details (photos, ID numbers) — we only need to see your name and current status.
We review requests within a few business days. If you’re approved, we’ll reply with a discount code that is single-use and personal to you — it won’t work for anyone else. Enter it at checkout as described at the top of this page. If you already have a subscription, say so in your email and we’ll apply the discount to it directly instead. A few things worth knowing:
  • The discount runs for 12 months. After that, your plan returns to the standard price. If you’re still eligible, email us again with current proof and we’ll issue you a fresh code.
  • You don’t need a .edu email address. Enrollment is what we check, not your email domain — universities outside the US, online programmes and bootcamps all qualify the same way.
  • Military covers both active duty and veterans. One category, same discount.

​
Ways to pay less

Pay annually. The straightforward one, and it needs no code. Pro is $8/month or $80/year, and Business is $16/user/month or $160/user/year — a year up front costs you ten months rather than twelve. You can switch an existing monthly subscription to annual at any time; see Changing your plan. Refer people. Every friend who signs up through your link and uses OpenWhispr earns you a free month, with no cap on how many. See Referrals. Use local models. Not a discount so much as the alternative to needing one: on-device transcription is unlimited on every plan including Free, and costs nothing. If the reason you’re upgrading is the cloud word allowance, a local model may remove the need entirely — see Cloud vs local processing.

FAQ

The box is on the Stripe checkout page, but you get there from inside OpenWhispr:
  1. In the OpenWhispr app, open Settings.
  2. Choose Plans & Billing under Account.
  3. Click Manage Billing — this takes you to Stripe, which handles our payments.
  4. On the Stripe page, click Add promotion code, just above the total, and enter your code before you pay.
If your code isn’t being accepted, send it to us and we’ll check whether it’s expired.
Yes, send us an email and we’ll apply it to your existing subscription.
If you hold a university ID, that’s the Education discount. If you don’t, email us anyway and tell us a bit about your situation — we read every request.
Not at the moment. The reliable saving is annual billing, which is always available.
