Pocket AI free plan: what Free includes and where it stops
The Pocket AI free plan costs $0, has no end date and includes unlimited transcription at standard accuracy, so you can use Pocket AI without a subscription.
Pocket Free includes:
- Unlimited transcription at standard accuracy
- Ask Pocket, with 3 chats a day and up to 3 messages per chat
- Unlimited summaries, saved for 30 days
- Unlimited to-dos and task app integrations
- Text export and audio download
Where the Pocket free tier stops:
- Summaries are kept for 30 days. Pro keeps them forever.
- Speaker names are tagged by hand. Auto-detected speaker names are a Pro feature.
- Live transcription while recording covers the first 2 segments. Full live transcription is a Pro feature.
- Ask Pocket is capped. Three chats a day, three messages each. Pro makes it unlimited.
- Export is text and audio. PDF, DOCX and Markdown export, including bulk export, start on Pro.
For someone who records a few conversations a week and reads each summary within a month, Free is enough. The 30-day summary window and the manual speaker tagging are the two limits to check first.
Pocket Pro pricing: $19.99 a month billed yearly
Pocket Pro costs $19.99 a month billed yearly, which is $239.88 a year, and the first 30 days of the subscription are free, starting after delivery.
Pro includes everything in Free. It adds the highest accuracy transcription models, full live transcription while recording and auto-detected speaker names. It also adds unlimited Ask Pocket chats with Deep Research reports and infographics, 80+ templates with custom templates and AI summary edits, and summaries emailed to your inbox. Exports cover PDF, DOCX and Markdown, with bulk export, and Pro keeps summaries forever.
Pro billed yearly renews automatically, and you can cancel at any time in the app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. A trial that you do not cancel converts to a paid subscription. Subscription fees are not refunded unless the law requires it or the order says so. Returning the device does not cancel the subscription, and canceling the subscription does not return the device, so each needs its own step.
Pocket Pro Access packs: 3, 6 and 12 months
Pocket sells Pro Access in 3-month, 6-month and 12-month packs at $59, $109 and $168, so 12 months of Pro costs $71.88 less as a pack than at the $239.88 yearly price.
| Pack | Price | Per month | Device plus pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $59 | $19.67 | $188 |
| 6 months | $109 | $18.17 | $238 |
| 12 months | $168 | $14.00 | $297 |
Each pack includes Pro features such as automatic transcription and summaries, Ask Pocket, speaker separation, AI model selection, bulk export, unlimited cloud history and early access to new features.
Pocket Enterprise pricing: custom price, HIPAA mode and BAA
Pocket Enterprise has custom pricing, and you reach Pocket through Talk to Sales.
Enterprise includes everything in Pro. It adds custom workflows, organization-level API keys and webhooks, advanced security and audit capabilities, centralized seat-based billing, priority support and onboarding, organization-wide export and data control, and admin controls with roles and recording access.
HIPAA mode and BAA support are Enterprise features. Pocket states that teams recording clinical or otherwise regulated conversations can sign a Business Associate Agreement with it.
On data use, Pocket states on its Trust and Privacy page: "Your recordings and transcripts aren't sold or used to train AI models." Its privacy policy states that it will not use your personal recordings to train its models without your consent. For encryption, hosting and recording consent, read our Pocket AI review, which covers features, privacy and what reviews say.
What Pocket costs over one, two and three years
Pocket costs $129 over three years on the Free plan and $848.64 with Pro billed yearly, which is the $129 device plus $239.88 a year.
| Cost for one person | Year 1 | Year 2 (total) | Year 3 (total) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pocket with the Free plan | $129.00 | $129.00 | $129.00 |
| Pocket with Pro billed yearly | $368.88 | $608.76 | $848.64 |
In the first 12 months, Pocket costs $129.00 on the Free plan, $297.00 with a 12-month Pro Access pack and $368.88 with Pro billed yearly.
| Cost for one person | First 12 months |
|---|---|
| Pocket with the Free plan | $129.00 |
| Pocket with a 12-month Pro Access pack | $297.00 |
| Pocket with Pro billed yearly | $368.88 |
The Pro line grows by $239.88 a year for as long as you use Pro. Totals are before sales tax and count a full year of Pro.
Pocket AI cost for a small team
Five people on Pocket with Pro billed yearly pay $1,844.40 in the first year, which is five devices at $129 plus five Pro subscriptions at $239.88.
Over three years, that team pays $4,243.20. Five people on the Free plan pay $645 for the devices and $0 for plans. A Team Pack plus a Double Pack covers five devices for $565, which brings the first-year total with five Pro subscriptions to $1,764.40.
Is the Pocket AI device worth it?
The Pocket AI device is worth $129 when the Free plan covers what you record, because it comes with unlimited transcription at standard accuracy, summaries kept for 30 days and a 30-day return window. Auto-detected speaker names, full live transcription, custom templates and PDF or DOCX export need Pro at $239.88 a year.
Pocket AI fits when:
- you record a few conversations a week and read the summary within 30 days,
- you want a 52 g recorder that clips to the back of a phone and records calls with a contact microphone,
- you want 64 GB on the device and four days of active use,
- a one-year warranty and a 30-day return window suit how you buy.
The cost changes when you need auto-detected speaker names, full live transcription, custom templates or Word and PDF export. At that point the real price of Pocket is $129 plus $239.88 a year. For specs, battery, integrations and what reviewers say, read the Pocket AI review.
Pocket AI warranty and returns, and what resale listings get
Pocket AI comes with a one-year limited warranty and a 30-day return window when you buy from heypocket.com, and resale listings on eBay, Newegg or in Shopping results are outside both.
The warranty starts at delivery, covers the original purchaser only and cannot be transferred. Returns run 30 days from the carrier's delivery confirmation. You request a Return Merchandise Authorization at hey@heypocket.com, and the device has to be near-new with its original packaging. You pay return shipping unless the return is Pocket's error or a valid warranty claim. Refunds arrive 5 to 10 business days after Pocket receives and inspects the device, original shipping is not refunded, and a refurbishment fee can be deducted.
Google Shopping results for Pocket range from $99.99 to $250.99 and include used units (Nov 5, 2026). The warranty belongs to the original purchaser, and the return window belongs to the order placed with Pocket, so a listing from a reseller does not carry the terms above.
How to choose a Pocket plan by price
Choose Free at $0 if you read summaries within 30 days, Pro at $239.88 a year if you need automatic speaker names, and a Pro Access pack at $59, $109 or $168 if you need Pro for 3, 6 or 12 months.
| If you | Choose |
|---|---|
| Record a few conversations a week and read summaries within 30 days | Free, $0 |
| Need speaker names detected automatically, full live transcription or custom templates | Pro, $239.88 a year |

| Record clinical or regulated conversations that need a BAA | Enterprise, custom pricing |
| Buy for two or three people | Double Pack at $238 or Team Pack at $327 |
Start on Free and move to Pro when you reach the 30-day summary window or need auto-detected speaker names. To see Pocket next to Plaud, read Pocket AI vs Plaud, and for Plaud's own prices read Plaud pricing.

- Buy Pro as a 12-month pack. At $14.00 a month, it is the lowest monthly Pro price in the packs table.
- Buy several devices as a pack. The Double Pack is $119 a device and the Team Pack is $109.

Pocket AI pricing vs Comu AI: usage cost compared
Over three years, Comu Note Pro costs €139.99 and Comu Action Pro costs €179.99 with the plan that comes with the device. Pocket costs $129 on the Free plan and $848.64 with Pro billed yearly (prices checked Nov 5, 2026). Comu prices are euro prices from the EU store (Nov 6, 2026); competitor prices are US dollar prices from each company's own site. Comu is a pocket recorder with an app. The plan that comes with the device includes unlimited transcription, unlimited real-time transcription, speaker identification, AI summaries, action items, 30+ built-in templates with unlimited custom templates, and Comu AI for questions across your recordings. Comu is GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant.
The Comu rows use only that free plan, including its export to TXT, Markdown, Word and PDF and its import of external audio. Pocket Free labels speakers by hand, covers the first 2 segments of live transcription, has 9 built-in templates and no custom templates, and exports text and audio but not Word or PDF. Automatic speaker names, full live transcription, custom templates and Word or PDF export are Pocket Pro features, so the table sets Comu against Pocket with Pro and lists Pocket with the Free plan for reference.
