What you get

The licence
What you own, and what happens next.
Lifetime means lifetime
One payment, no renewal, no seat count creeping up. Every update after it is included — the app you buy today keeps getting better without another invoice.
Pro if you'd rather not commit
$7.99 a month or $79.99 a year. Identical app. Cancel whenever, keep your transcripts — they were always on your Mac.
The price only goes up
1,000 lifetime licences exist. The first 500 are $75, the next 300 are $120, and the final 200 are $150. After that Shout is subscription only, and the ladder never resets.
Not sure it fits? Download it and use it free for 14 days, no card or account. Or read what it actually does first — every feature on that page is in every plan. Weighing it against another app? See Shout next to Superwhisper and Wispr Flow.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download Shout and it runs free for 14 days with every feature. No card, no account, no key. When it ends, pick a lifetime license or Pro.
What does the lifetime license include?
Everything: unlimited transcription, the always-on audio buffer and timeline, all three engines and every Whisper model, 99 languages by auto-detect (20 you can pin), audio export, and all future updates.
Why does the lifetime price go up?
There will only ever be 1,000 lifetime licenses. The first 500 are $75, the next 300 are $120, and the final 200 are $150. When they're gone, they're gone.
How many Macs can I use it on?
Up to 3. Your laptop, your desktop, your work machine.
Is my audio private?
All audio and transcription processing happens locally on your Mac. We never see your recordings or transcripts. Beyond your license email, the app sends crash reports unless you turn them off, and usage analytics only if you turn them on. Neither ever includes audio or text.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Shout isn't for you, get in touch and we'll refund you.
