Weesper inserts dictated text directly into any application — Gmail, Slack, Word, Notion — without copy-paste steps. MacWhisper primarily works as a standalone transcription app where you record, then copy text manually.
Pricing Comparison
Both tools offer monthly, annual, and lifetime pricing. Weesper starts at €5/month (€45/year, €99 lifetime). MacWhisper starts at $8.99/month ($29.99/year, $79.99 lifetime). Weesper is more affordable across all tiers.

Who Should Choose Weesper?
Weesper is ideal if you need dictation across macOS and Windows, want text inserted directly into any app without copy-paste, prefer a more affordable pricing structure, or need a custom dictionary for specialized terminology.
