Comparison
AuroraWhisp vs Wispr Flow
TL;DR
Wispr Flow is cloud-based, $15/mo. It does AI cleanup of your speech (removes "um", adapts style per app) — at the cost of routing your voice through their servers. AuroraWhisp is local, $19.90 once, no cloud and no AI text cleanup. If privacy matters and you don't want a subscription — pick us.

Cost of ownership over 5 years
Wispr Flow: $15/mo × 12 × 5 = $900. AuroraWhisp Pro: $19.90 once. Difference — $880, or 45×. And that ignores subscription price hikes — you pay the new price every month after the change, not the one you signed up at.
When Wispr Flow is genuinely better
If you are on Mac (their Mac-first product) and you value AI speech cleanup directly in the cloud — Wispr does what we do not: auto-removes filler words, adapts style for Slack vs Notion vs email. If you dictate drafts and need them already polished — that is Wispr. We do verbatim transcription without touching the text.
Migrating from Wispr Flow to AuroraWhisp
Wispr has no user-data export worth migrating — custom commands and style are not exposed for import. So migration is simple: unsubscribe in their account → download AuroraWhisp → pick a hotkey (default Ctrl+Space, same as Wispr) → keep working. Dictation history starts fresh, but it is local and in SQLite — export it whenever you want.
