Flat-rate purchase for local-only/BYOK scenarios

The app is great overall, but I am only considering scenarios where I use local models or bring my own keys or custom models for privacy reasons. I would be happy to pay a one time purchase of like 30$ that would be only limited those kind of scenarios where the user don’t rely on any cloud processing, and therefore does not incur subscription fees.

I have the same opinion. The app is really brilliant and useful, however, the pricing model needs to be adjusted for local use only.

Couldn't agree more. Surprised not more people care about this. If we don't use cloud, we don't put any running costs and should not need to pay a subscription. Alternatively: the subscription should be very affordable, but really, the only fair thing here is a one-time purchase. $30 would be very resonable. Look at the alternatives like Voiceink. Sure, SuperWhisper is more advanced, but not by miles. $30 spot on.

Agreed - use of local models only does not justify an ongoing subscription cost.
