Listed in the same order as the AITeamGuide best-of list. Some apps sell a one-time license instead of a subscription (VoiceInk; Spokenly Local+; Superwhisper also offers lifetime), and Handy and Hex are free MIT-licensed open-source apps that run offline. Word limits on free plans differ a lot, so read each vendor page for what is included. Prices change often, so check the vendor page before you buy.
