Why Every Voice Tool Caps the Free Tier (And Why Recitey Doesn't)

Every dictation tool you've tried probably has the same pattern: a limited free tier that gates you toward paid within weeks. The cap isn't arbitrary, it's architectural. Tools that rely on cloud transcription have per-word costs, so they meter usage. But Recitey uses local Whisper, which runs on your device with zero variable cost. That structural difference means no word limit, no metering, no gotcha. The business model doesn't require capping the foundation, so it doesn't.
