Everything in Cofactor.
42 features, with where each one runs and which plan includes it. Anything marked Pro or Team needs that plan. The rest is free.
Private, free and always working
Your voice stays on your device, and the core of the app costs nothing.

If another app is holding the mic, Cofactor says so and retries for you.
