🔎 Unclaimed — this is our research, not their listing. Yaps has not submitted anything to us, has not seen or approved this page, and has not claimed this listing. There is no vendor description here, and we have not written one on their behalf. Everything below comes from our own dossier — the same one behind the Honest Software Atlas. Reader reviews are moderated for spam only; critical ones get published too.

What we found — independently

Researched by AIBM, not supplied by the vendor. The vendor has not been involved in this page at all.

Our pricing check · re-verified 2026-10-26Yaps is free on Android, iPhone and iPad: voice typing in other apps, voice notes with local search and read-aloud with 4 voices, without an account or card.

What will cost you money if you skim itThe desktop trial converts to a paid plan automatically, and the terms exclude refunds solely because you forgot to cancel; uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription either.

Cost-trap flags — each with its evidence

Open questions

What our research could not answer about Yaps

Can a customer cancel at any time, and what happens to an annual plan that is cancelled mid-term?
Which data can a customer export, in which formats, on which plans?
Where is customer data stored, and can a customer choose the region?
Is there a minimum number of seats or users on any plan?

For the Yaps team: answer one of these questions (optional)

Your answer is read by a person before it is published, then shown here as a dated statement from your company, next to our research and never mixed into it. We publish your role and your email domain, never your name or address. Please link the page where it is documented.

Work at Yaps? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.
