Speak is dictation — talk instead of type, free forever, no word limits. Control adds voice commands for macOS: navigate apps, edit text by voice, run your own workflows. Delegate is the one that does work for you — describe a task and Yapivo carries out the steps. Speak is free, Control is a one-time payment, and Delegate will be a subscription when it ships.
Yes—and dictation is unlimited on it. No word limits, no credit card, no trial period. You only pay if you want the Control power features like voice commands, Voice Systems, and Context Vault.
Control is a single $79 payment—no subscription, ever. It unlocks voice commands for macOS, Voice Systems (reusable voice automations), Context Vault (learns your vocabulary and writing style), per-app formatting, and edit-by-voice. It is a perpetual license: the version you buy is yours forever, and every update released in the first year is included.
Nothing changes about what you own. The app keeps working, forever, with every feature and update released during your first year. If you want the newer versions after that, there will be an optional renewal—but you are never locked out of what you paid for, and there is nothing to cancel.
Delegate is still being built, so there is no date yet. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and creates no account: you get one email when it is ready, and nothing before that. Reply to it any time and you are off the list.
No. Your license key is shown on screen the moment the payment goes through, and emailed to you as well. Paste it into Yapivo under Settings → Enter License. An account is only useful if you want your purchase visible on the web dashboard.
