Honest review
Clipto, where it falls short
Clipto does local transcription well on Mac. But the pricing and platform lock-in are real problems.
Clipto$24.99/month
Clipto is a native Mac transcription app that processes audio locally. The local processing is a privacy plus, but the $24.99/month price tag with no free plan and a credit-card-gated trial makes it one of the most expensive entry points in the category, especially given there are zero AI features beyond transcription itself.

7-day trial requires a credit card, you're charged if you forget to cancel
Mac-only, no Windows, no Linux, no mobile, no web access
