Common questions about pricing.
Is Tyll really a one-time purchase? +
Yes. You pay $69 once and use Tyll for good. No subscription, no monthly fees, no hidden follow-up costs.
Does Tyll really replace two tools? +
Yes. Dictation and a meeting assistant live in one app. Otherwise you pay two subscriptions, a dictation app and a meeting note-taker, easily $20 a month combined.
Do I get updates? +
You get the updates needed to keep Tyll secure and contract-compliant. Beyond that, we continue improving Tyll as our resources allow, without turning it into an update subscription.
How many Macs can I use Tyll on? +
A standard license is active on one Mac at a time. When you move to a new Mac, you can transfer the license yourself, up to 3 times in a rolling 30-day window.
Do the AI extras cost extra? +
Tyll itself costs nothing extra. The optional summary and polish run through your own AI model with your API key, such as Claude or ChatGPT. Whatever that costs, you settle directly with the provider.
Why no subscription? +
A tool you rely on every day should be owned, not rented. After activation, Tyll runs locally on your Mac and stays usable offline or while the license server is temporarily unreachable.
Do I need an account or an internet connection? +
No. Tyll runs with no account and fully offline on your Mac. You only connect a cloud if you want the AI extras.
When is Tyll available? +
Tyll launches with its first public version for macOS. You download the app directly, with no waitlist.
Both tools. One purchase.
Download Tyll for macOS, dictation and a meeting assistant in one app. $69 once, no subscription and no running costs.
