Pro is for iOS for now; Dictus Pro for Android is in development. Desktop stays free. Your iOS purchase does not include an Android licence or cross-device sync.
The three options unlock the same features: €4.99/month, €39.99/year or €149.99 paid once. Subscriptions renew automatically. Purchases are made in the iOS app through Apple, which confirms the price for your country. Vocabulary replaces variants you define without training the speech model. History keeps your last 200 dictations to search, read, copy or delete.
On an iPhone compatible with Smart Modes, Dictus Pro is free for 14 days, once per device. No payment and no subscription are needed. When the trial ends, Pro switches off unless you choose a plan or the one-time purchase. Nothing is charged automatically.

The free Pro trial is offered on these iPhones. Buying Pro does not change these requirements. History, vocabulary and voice note transcripts do not require Apple Intelligence.
