Pay once. Keep recording.
There is no metered transcription to bill for and no cloud to rent, so there is no reason to charge you every month. Pick the number of devices, pay once, and every feature is included.
Every tier is a one-time payment via Stripe checkout, license key by email. Same app, same features — the tiers only change how many devices the key activates.
Every license includes
The whole app on Mac and Windows, no recurring charge — whichever device count you pick.
- Dual-track capture: your microphone and the meeting audio as separate files, plus a mixed playback track
- On-device transcription with Whisper-family models, live transcript optional
- Speaker labels from a local diarization model
- Meeting actions: copy a summary, action-items or custom prompt with the transcript included
- Exports: Markdown, plain text, JSON archive, SRT and VTT captions, and the WAV audio
- Searchable local meeting library, and retranscribe any meeting later
- Free updates throughout the preview
- No account, no telemetry, no meeting data leaving the device

What a subscription would have cost
Rough arithmetic, using the kind of list prices cloud meeting-notes tools publish. Yours may differ — the point is the shape of the curve, not the exact figure.

| Year one | €34.95 | roughly $120–240 |
| Year two | €0 | roughly $120–240 |
| Year three | €0 | roughly $120–240 |

| If you stop paying | The app keeps working | Access usually ends |
| Where recordings live | Your device | The vendor's cloud |

Pricing questions
Why one-time instead of a subscription?
Because our costs do not scale with your usage. Transcription happens on your processor, recordings sit on your disk, and we store nothing on your behalf. A subscription would be charging you monthly for infrastructure that does not exist. The one cost we do carry — hosting the speech models you download once — does not justify a recurring bill.
Is there a free trial?
A 48-hour trial is coming: you will enter an email address, receive a code, and get the full app for two days. Email delivery is not live yet, so it is marked coming soon on the free trial page.
Is there a permanently free tier?
No. There is no advertising to sell and no data to monetise, so a free tier would have to be paid for by the people who do buy. One honest price is the trade we prefer.
How many devices does a license cover?
Two, belonging to the same person — a laptop and a desktop, or a work machine and a personal one. For more than that, look at volume licensing.
Does the price include updates?
Updates during the preview are included. JesRecap is on a preview release channel today, and every build published there is free to license holders. See the releases page.
Are there per-minute or per-meeting charges?
No. There is no meter anywhere in the product. Recording a thousand hours costs the same as recording one, because the work happens on your hardware.
Do I pay extra for the speech models?
No. Models are downloaded once from models.jesrecap.com and reused. The speaker-labelling model is a separate one-time 54 MB download, also included.
Questions about billing, invoices or a refund?
Email support@jesrecap.com and a person will answer. We would rather talk it through than point you at fine print.
What currency am I charged in?
The price is set in euros: €34.95. Stripe handles the conversion if your card is in another currency.
€34.95, and that is the end of it
Two devices, every feature, no renewal date in your calendar.
