Is VoiceOS free?
No. VoiceOS has no free plan — new accounts get a 7-day trial of Pro and a card is required at sign-up; after that it's $11.99/month billed annually. NovaVoice has a free plan with dictation, Agent Mode and the AI assistant, no card needed, on Mac, Windows and Linux.
VoiceOS vs NovaVoice - which is better for multi-app voice workflows on macOS?
Both do system-wide voice on Mac, but NovaVoice adds Agent Mode: it doesn't just type, it runs actions in apps like Gmail, Calendar and Todoist by voice. For workflows that span several apps, that action layer is the main difference.
Where NovaVoice Goes Further
VoiceOS and NovaVoice are genuinely similar as voice productivity tools. The meaningful differences come down to three areas: integrations, platforms, and how text is formatted.
NovaVoice connects to Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, Telegram, WhatsApp, Spotify, X, and Hacker News. Say 'Add a task to Todoist' or 'Email Sarah: got it, I'll review by Friday' — and Nova executes it.
NovaVoice runs on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora — one of the only commercial voice tools with a true Linux desktop client. VoiceOS doesn't support Linux.
Set custom formatting rules per application window. Dictating into Gmail produces formal prose; the same voice in Slack becomes casual. Any style, any window — fully customizable.
After dictating, a popover lets you refine the text inline — rephrase, shorten, or change tone — without switching to another app or editor.
