Respect first, then the difference.
SuperWhisper earned its reputation. It helped prove that dictation could run locally on a Mac, and if you like choosing models and building custom modes, it gives you a lot to play with. So this page isn't a privacy argument, because both apps keep your voice on your machine.

Where Enzo is different
Unlimited free voice typing
Speak into the Mac apps you already use. Starter has no word limit or expiry, and keeps your recordings, transcripts, playback, search, and tags.
Help throughout your day
Ask a question, attach a document, use your current screen, or draft a follow-up. Local AI is included in Pro.
Meetings you can revisit
Pro records meeting audio on your Mac without a bot. Keep the transcript with separate speaker labels, ask about it, or create a summary.
Recall is your choice
Opt in to keep permitted work context. Today’s timeline and earlier-day overviews are free. Pro adds full retained context, search, and daily briefs.
Local by default
Transcription and Recall collection run on your Mac. Local AI works offline after setup. Optional cloud answers send selected text to the provider you enable.
Pro for $39 once
Meetings and local AI for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Try Pro for 10 days with intentional Pro use. Optional cloud provider charges are separate.
Dictation and meetings, in one app
Talk and the text lands at your cursor. Flip the toggle to watch a meeting get transcribed.
Solo Mode pastes your words straight at the cursor.
Works with any app that has a cursor.

What SuperWhisper does better
It runs on iPhone and Windows too
Enzo is Mac-only by design. If you want the same dictation tool on your phone, SuperWhisper covers that.
It has more knobs
Model choices, custom modes, prompt tweaking. Enzo provides a local default and an optional cloud answer connection, with guided model downloads.
Optional cloud models
SuperWhisper can route to cloud models for some workflows if you want that. Enzo uses local AI by default and also offers optional cloud answers with your own DeepSeek key and separate provider billing.
If tuning your own setup is part of the fun, stay where you are, honestly. If you'd rather pay once and stop thinking about it, that's what I built Enzo for.
Questions
What stays free in Enzo?
Unlimited voice typing, saved recordings and transcripts, playback, search, and tags across all saved days. Live Solo text is free with its optional component. Recall is opt-in and includes today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews. Starter has no word limit or expiry.
What does Pro add?
Pro includes meetings with speaker identification, local AI for recordings, documents, your current screen, and Recall, plus summaries, rewritten notes, email drafts, and daily briefs. It adds full retained Recall history and context search. Pro is $39 once for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Optional cloud provider billing is separate.
When does the Pro trial start?
The 10-day trial starts with intentional use of a Pro feature. Setup and model downloads do not count. No card or account is needed. Voice typing stays free afterward, and saved recordings and generated results remain readable.
What stays on my Mac, and what can use the internet?
Transcription, speaker recognition, and Recall collection run on your Mac. Ask uses Local by default. If you choose DeepSeek Flash with your own API key, your question, recent conversation, and selected text context go directly to DeepSeek. That text can include excerpts from recordings, Recall, documents, and your screen. Raw audio, files, screenshots, and images are not uploaded by that request. Optional web research sends a public query directly to a search provider and retrieves selected sources. License checks, downloads, updates, and optional analytics also use the internet.
How is recording history different from Recall?
Saved recordings stay accessible in Speak across all saved days, including on Starter. Recall is a separate, optional timeline of permitted work context. Starter shows today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews; Pro adds detailed retained history, context search, and AI. Recall retention is adjustable on every plan and defaults to 30 days.
