Pricing FAQ
Common questions about billing
Why one-time and not a subscription?
Because the product runs on your laptop, not in our cloud. There's no per-recruiter infrastructure cost we need to amortize across a monthly bill. Pay once, own the version.
What's free and what's paid?
Recording, file upload, and transcription are free forever. New installs also include a few free AI summaries so you can see a real candidate writeup before buying. Unlimited AI summaries unlock with the $79 Pro license.
What happens after 12 months of updates?
Your installed version keeps working forever. Local-first apps don't stop running. If we ship a major v2 with new capabilities, current customers get a discounted upgrade.
Is there a team or agency plan?
Not yet. For now, each recruiter buys their own license. If you're a team of 10+ interested in bulk licensing or a future shared template library, get in touch and we'll figure it out.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes - and you should. Recording and transcription are free forever, and you get a few free AI summaries on first install so you can evaluate a real writeup on your own interviews. The $79 license unlocks unlimited AI summaries. Because you can fully evaluate the app first, all license sales are final.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac on Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 11 or later, or Windows 10/11 64-bit. 8 GB RAM minimum (16 GB recommended) and about 5 GB of free disk. Everything runs locally and works offline after first-run model downloads.
