Yap plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $6.9/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Yearly | $69/year | 3 | +$62.1/year, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Yap feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

security
- On-device recognition
productivity
- Text cleanup
- Hands-free recording
- Voice input for coding tools
mobile
- Phone keyboards
People bring Yap in for dictating emails, messages and documents in any app on mac or windows, speaking long prompts into chatgpt, claude or a coding agent, voice input for developers who cannot send code or screen contents to a cloud service, reducing keyboard use for people with rsi or wrist pain, drafting by voice where audio must not leave the device, such as legal or therapy notes. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Yap are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Yap
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $6.9/month and $69/year, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Yap against the tools that do have one before committing.
Yap runs on macos, windows, ios, android, and is published by Yap. The full record is on the Yap review, and the rest of the category is under best productivity tools.
