What the pieces cost elsewhere
Typical list prices on the vendors' own sites, August 2026. Stilou isn't a clone of any of them — but these are the jobs it does.
Questions
What exactly is metered on the free tier?
Dictations and AI rewrites, monthly, after the 14-day trial. Capture, notes, screenshots, local search and Private mode are free forever and never metered.
What happens after the 500 early-bird places?
The plan lists at $12/mo. Everyone who took the early bird keeps $9.99 for as long as they stay subscribed.
Is my data private?
Your memory lives on your Mac. On the included plan, dictation audio and rewrite text pass through our relay to the model and are not stored. Private mode keeps everything on-device.
Can I use my own API key instead?
Yes — bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Groq key and your Mac talks to them directly. The free tier's meters don't apply to your own key.
