Questions people ask
The Omi device costs $129 for a limited time, normally $179, and Omi says no subscription is required. Ona's software is free for 300 minutes a month, with Pro at $14.99 a month.
No. Ona is a hosted product: audio is deleted once it is transcribed, and transcripts and notes are encrypted in transit and at rest. If running everything yourself matters most, Omi is the better fit.
