Trial End Value Summary in Wispr Flow

Available on: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android

If your trial is ending, a teammate's countdown differs, or Flow reports a weekly limit, check your account's trial and Flow Free rules. Flow Free gives you limited access with a weekly dictation word limit. Without a trial, you're on Flow Free from the start.

Your trial

Trial eligibility is set at your first desktop login, whether you created your account on the website, by email, or in the app. This happens before setup is complete. A desktop trial requires no previous desktop or mobile trial; an iOS trial requires no previous mobile trial.

A new trial is skipped for eligible free-student accounts, teams that disable trials or already have an active subscription, non-billable IT Admin roles, and accounts assigned no default trial.

Desktop trial cards

Individual: The sidebar shows “Trial ends in N day(s)” and “Upgrade to Flow Pro to keep unlimited access to Wispr Flow.” Select Upgrade to Pro to upgrade.
Team with billing info: The card says “Full access now. You'll join your team's paid plan when your trial ends.” See team opens team settings. The countdown prefix is “Growth Trial ends in” for Growth or “Enterprise Trial ends in” for business plans.
Team without billing info: The card says “Add billing info to keep Pro for your team. You won't be charged until the trial ends.” Add billing info opens Settings → Account → Plans & Billing.

Desktop trial cards are hidden for accounts whose default trial was removed. Other account notices can take priority over a trial card.

iOS trial counts

The menu usage bar, Plan tab, keyboard Statistics card, and trial progress bar use consistent trial counts. A newly granted trial starts with its full length remaining and zero days used. The Plan tab reads “<N> days left in trial”; the menu reads “<used> of <total> days used in trial.” The keyboard splits that into “<used> of <total>” and “days used in trial”; tapping its trial card opens Plans.

Flow Free weekly word limit

iOS and Android share a mobile weekly word pool, not separate allowances. Desktop uses a different allowance. The desktop weekly dictation limit does not apply to Notetaker.

Once you reach the cap it stays in effect until that reset — restarting the app or a brief sign-in interruption won't give you extra dictations.

Mac and Windows

The standard weekly allowance is 2,000 words. An active 8,000-word bonus raises it to 10,000 until the bonus expires; all remaining-word counts use that adjusted allowance.

Words-left displays are for eligible Free accounts, not Pro, team, free-student, or trial-removed accounts; the Home card also requires an unsubscribed account. They appear after your first weekly limit has been reached, at 2,000 words used this week, or when setup finished more than seven days ago and 200 or fewer words remain.

Home: Below Dictation Stats, the card's title is your remaining count, such as “150 words left,” not “Weekly words.” Its subtitle is “You're close to your weekly dictation limit. Upgrade for unlimited access.” At the cap, it shows “0 words left” and “You've hit your weekly dictation limit. Resets Sunday, 12 a.m. PT.”
Plans & Billing: The Free card reads “X words left this week” below the cap and “You've reached your weekly limit” at the cap. Its inline Upgrade to Pro link starts checkout.
Account dropdown: The word row reads “X words left this week,” with a Get Flow Pro button.
Flow bar: At the cap, it shows “Weekly dictation limit reached” with “Dictation resets Sunday, 12 a.m. PT. Upgrade for unlimited access.” The recurring alert appears at most once daily.

Selecting the Home card or its Upgrade to Pro button, the account dropdown's Get Flow Pro, or the Flow bar's Upgrade opens Settings → Account → Plans & Billing, where Pro checkout offers unlimited access.

Eligible students instead see “Students get Wispr Flow free!” and “As a student, you get unlimited access to Wispr Flow for free!” Select Claim free offer to open the offer.

For accounts assigned no default trial, an active bonus can change the limit notice to “Here are bonus words to keep dictating this week!” with Keep dictating instead of Upgrade. Having bonus words alone does not guarantee this notice.

iOS

The weekly and limit cards require Flow Free, even if that plan is marked as trialing. A Pro plan in trial does not get these cards. They and the menu usage bar are hidden for free-student-eligible accounts and while a no-trial account's usage limits have not yet been revealed. Otherwise, the menu bar appears for Free or trialing accounts; Free accounts see weekly words rather than trial days.

Keyboard drawer: In the ☰ drawer, the weekly card appears at 200 or fewer words remaining. From 200 down to 1, it shows the count, “words left this week,” and “Upgrade for unlimited access.” Tap it to open Plans.
At 1,000–1,499 words: The countdown and separate upgrade line disappear. The card reads “Weekly dictation limit reached. Flow will slow down until next week.”
At 1,500 words: The keyboard blocks Start Flow and shows its hard-limit message instead of starting a dictation. Its card combines the same limit title and reset/upgrade wording quoted for the desktop Flow bar above.
In the app: The “Dictation limit reached” card says “Dictation resets Sunday, 12 a.m. PT.” Its Get unlimited access button opens the upgrade offer. The card can reappear every additional 100 words after the soft limit and also appears at the hard limit.

A separate words-remaining notification appears in the keyboard drawer when you first reach 200 or fewer remaining words, with a brief inline message during dictation. It is suppressed after dismissal or for eligible free students, and disappears at zero.

If you receive the one-time 5,000-word bonus at the 1,000-word limit, both limits become 6,000 for seven days, with no slowdown range between them. The weekly card still appears with 200 words left against that higher allowance.

The Claim your Student plan flow offers “Unlimited access, no cost” and includes waiting for an existing trial to finish before the student plan applies.

Android

Android offers no new free trial: new and existing unsubscribed accounts start on Flow Free, without trial screens or trial-end notifications. Word limits apply only to Free accounts without an active paid subscription, including a Google Play subscription. Limit displays and upgrade buttons stay hidden until Flow has determined your subscription.

Alerts replace an attempted dictation when you press the Flow bubble; they never appear after a dictation. Only one notification appears at a time.

Warning, 800–999 words: “You're approaching your weekly free limit” / “Flow will slow down once you reach your limit.” This holds one press per reset week; press again to dictate.
Soft limit, 1,000–1,499 words: “You have reached your weekly limit.” / “Flow will slow down until next week.” This also holds one press per reset week; press again to dictate.
Hard limit, 1,500 or more words: “No words remaining” / “You've hit your weekly word limit. Upgrade to continue using Flow.” Every press is blocked and raises the alert until reset or purchase.

The alerts themselves do not print word counts. With a 1,500-word bonus, these thresholds occur at 2,300, 2,500, and 3,000 actual dictated words. Displayed usage reflects the bonus; history and leaderboard counts do not change. An account already blocked when a bonus is added stays blocked until Sunday. Newly dictated words count immediately, so a warning or block can briefly appear early.

Notifications can appear over your current app with vibration. Tapping one dismisses it and opens the Plan page with the upgrade offer already open; Get unlimited words does the same. If notifications or Word limit alerts are off, a sheet shows the equivalent message and action instead.

Home warning cards are dismissible. The Free account drawer shows usage progress and an upgrade action; paid accounts show only their plan badge. Student plans purchased on desktop or iOS are honored without limits or upgrade prompts, but cannot be purchased on Android.

Android resets Sundays at 23:45 UTC, even offline. Counts restart, limit cards and notifications clear, and dismissed warnings can appear again in the new week. Upgrading also clears alerts; signing out does not. An existing notification remains until tapped, reset, or replaced or cleared by a change in your limit status.

A Google Play purchase unlocks dictation immediately. After upgrading elsewhere while blocked:

Press the Flow bubble to check your plan; this press can still be held.
Press again to dictate; allow 30 seconds between attempts that need another plan check.

FAQs

My trial was already running — does it still finish normally?

Yes. A trial in progress continues to its original end date, with the standard trial end experience. Before setup is complete, an account assigned no trial can have a default-length-or-shorter trial removed only if it has never dictated and has no referral.

Why does my teammate's trial countdown differ from mine?

Desktop uses your own remaining trial first, then the team's trial end if you have no personal days left; iOS uses your own trial, so teammates can see different counts. On a paid, non-trialing team, the desktop card disappears when you have no personal trial days left. Teammates who started on the free plan stay on Flow Free.

Where do I manage or cancel my plan on Android?

In Account, Cancel subscription opens Google Play for Play purchases. Stripe purchases show Go to desktop app to manage plan. Team and Enterprise accounts show Contact admin to manage; those plans are managed on desktop or web.

Still need help?

Contact support if dictation remains blocked after the reset shown in Flow, or Android still blocks you after the purchase checks above. Include your platform, account plan, displayed message, purchase location, and what you tried.
