An AI voice recorder with unlimited transcription

Why caps break the habit

A recorder only works if pressing it is thoughtless. The moment there is a budget, you start deciding whether this conversation is worth a minute — and the whole value of the device was that you did not have to decide. People with metered plans describe the same pattern: heavy use for three weeks, then a check of the remaining balance, then a permanently more cautious habit.

That is why the cap matters more than its size. It is not really about running out. It is about thinking about running out.

What to check before you buy anything

This applies to every product in the category, this one included. Get the answers in writing from the vendor's own pricing page rather than a comparison article, because plans change and articles do not.

• Is there a monthly cap on transcription minutes, and what happens when you hit it — hard stop, overage charge, or a slower queue?
• Do summaries, digests or AI features draw on a separate credit pool from transcription?
• Does the free tier keep working after the paid one lapses, and what happens to recordings already made?
• Is the price per seat or per device, and does it change when you add a second person?
• Is there an annual commitment, and what does the monthly price become without it?

What it costs here

chit is $129 for chit one or $179 for chit one Pro, once. The membership is $9 a month and includes unlimited transcripts, the daily digest of decisions and next steps, ask-anything search across everything you have captured, calendar and mail connections, and cloud backup. There is no minute cap and no separate credit pool for summaries.

If you cancel, the card still records — you just do the reading yourself. Membership billing starts about two weeks after checkout, roughly when the device arrives, rather than on the day you order.

We are not going to tell you this is the cheapest option or the best value, because those depend on your usage and on what everyone else is charging this month. What we will say is what the number is and what it includes, so you can do that comparison yourself against current pricing pages.
