How we counted
- The job, in the words you’d use. Each row is something people pay for every month.
- The popular paid pick for that job, at the price on its own pricing page today.
- The cheapest way to pay it. Where a yearly plan costs less, we used it, so the subscription totals are as low as they get.
- Three years, so a one-time price and a monthly one sit side by side.
Ten AI subscriptions and what replaces them
| Job | Popular subscription | Its price | 3 years | Off Grid AI |

Prices in US dollars from each product’s own page on 14 November 2026, before tax. ChatGPT Plus also lists a built-in browser, so you may not pay for both it and Claude Pro. Off Grid AI’s $34.99 is a limited-time lifetime price, down from $119.
What a typical stack costs
Few people pay for all ten. A common four is ChatGPT Plus, Granola, Wispr Flow and 1Password. That’s $49.99 a month on their cheapest plans, and $1,799.64 over three years.
Off Grid AI Pro is $34.99 once, and one key covers up to 5 of your devices. If you’d rather not pay up front, it’s $7.99 a month. Local models have no usage fees, so the price stays the same however much you use it.
That works because your own hardware does the AI work. Cloud apps pay for a server every time you ask them something, so their bill repeats. We explain the economics in the case against cloud AI subscriptions.
What you get for free, and what needs Pro
Free, on every device. Off Grid AI Desktop (OGAD) and Off Grid AI Mobile (OGAM) chat with open models you download, answer from your PDFs and documents with the source shown, take voice in and out, and make images on your own GPU or phone. No account. Once a model is on your device, chat works offline.
Pro, mostly on your computer. Meetings are recorded without a bot joining the call and transcribed on your computer. Dictation types into any app on Mac, Windows and Linux. Memory keeps your screens, meetings, mail and documents searchable, and Reflect shows where your day went by project and person. Clipboard keeps a history and sends copied text to your phone. Vault holds passwords and private files. Web Use and Computer Use run tasks in your own browser and apps, and Web Use hands passwords, codes and card numbers back to you. Video turns a sentence into a clip on your computer, or on phones with about 12 GB of memory.
OGAD needs a Mac with Apple silicon, Windows, or Linux on x64 with Ubuntu 24.04 or newer. The app shows which models fit your machine.
Where a dedicated tool is still better
- Hard reasoning and deep research. ChatGPT Plus runs GPT-6 models on OpenAI’s servers. A model that fits on your laptop is smaller. If you live in long research reports, keep Plus.
- Passwords on your phone, or for a family. Off Grid AI Vault stays on one computer and OGAM has no vault. 1Password has apps for phones and computers, and its Families plan shares vaults across 5 people.
- A draft waiting in every thread. Off Grid AI writes a draft when you ask, in Chat or in your own Gmail tab with Web Use. Superhuman writes Auto Drafts into your threads before you ask.
- Dictation on your phone. Off Grid AI’s dictation into other apps is computer only. Wispr Flow has phone apps.
- A team sharing notes in one workspace. Granola Business connects notes to Notion and HubSpot and adds workspace features. Off Grid AI Pro is for one person, with no shared workspace.
- A slow computer. Midjourney and ChatGPT run on their GPUs, so any laptop works. Off Grid AI’s speed depends on the computer you have.
Which subscriptions should you cancel
- You pay for a notetaker, dictation or a time tracker: these are the easiest swaps. Off Grid AI Pro does all three on your computer, with no minute caps or word limits.
- You pay ChatGPT Plus for everyday writing and questions: try OGAD’s free chat for a week before you renew.
- You pay Screenpipe or miss Rewind: Off Grid AI Memory keeps it local and reads it with a local model. See Rewind and Recall alternatives.
- You share passwords with family: keep 1Password.
- You want drafts waiting in every email thread: keep Superhuman.
Everything in one app
Most apps on this page do one job. Off Grid AI does all of these, on your own computer and phone, in one app.
Free, on every device
- Local chat with open models, no account
- Answers from your files, with the source shown
- Images made on your own GPU
- Voice in and out
- A local API for your own tools
- iPhone and Android with on-device models
Pro, $34.99 once
- Memory of your screens, meetings, mail and docs
- Meetings recorded without a bot, summarised locally
- Dictation into any app on your computer
- Actions in Gmail, Linear, Jira and Notion, only with your yes
- God, a chief of staff that briefs you and preps your meetings
- Web Use and Computer Use for tasks in your own browser and apps
- Reflect: where your time went, by project and person
- Vault, Clipboard and Sync on up to 5 devices
They work together
- A call becomes a transcript. Its decisions become to-dos. The follow-up email waits in Actions for your yes.
- God's morning brief draws on all of it: yesterday's screens, today's meetings, what people owe you.
- Vault fills logins in the same browser where Web Use runs a task, so the agent signs in and your password never goes to a model.
That is a notetaker, a dictation app, a time tracker, a password manager, a clipboard manager and an AI assistant, for one price. Get Pro for $34.99 once
Which AI subscriptions can I replace with one app? Off Grid AI covers private chat, meeting notes without a bot, dictation, screen memory, time tracking, clipboard history, a password vault, browser and computer tasks, an email helper, and image and video making. Chat and images are free. The rest come with Off Grid AI Pro for $34.99 once. The email helper only reads and drafts, and the vault stays on one computer.
Is there an AI app I can pay for once instead of monthly? Yes. Off Grid AI Pro is $34.99 once, a limited-time price down from $119, for up to 5 devices, and it also comes as $7.99 a month. It can sell a one-time price because the models run on your own computer and phone, so each answer costs nobody a server bill.
What’s the cheapest way to get meeting notes, dictation, screen memory and a private ChatGPT? Off Grid AI. Private chat is free, and meetings, dictation and screen memory come with Pro for $34.99 once. Bought separately, Granola Business, Wispr Flow Pro, Screenpipe Basic and ChatGPT Plus cost $2,406 over three years at their own prices on 14 November 2026.
Is Off Grid AI as good as ChatGPT Plus? For everyday writing, summaries and questions about your files, a local model does the job. For the hardest reasoning and deep research, ChatGPT Plus runs OpenAI’s GPT-6 models on OpenAI’s servers, and a model on your computer is smaller. Off Grid AI keeps your chats on your device and adds memory of your own work.
Does Off Grid AI replace my subscriptions on my phone too? Partly. Off Grid AI Mobile (OGAM) does free private chat and images on iPhone and Android, makes video with Pro, and syncs with your computer over your own network. Meetings, dictation into other apps, screen memory, time tracking and the vault run on your computer.
Do I need the internet to use it? Once, to download the app and your models and to activate Pro. After that chat, meetings, dictation and memory run on your computer offline. Sync between your phone and computer needs your local network, and reading Gmail or Outlook needs the internet.
