Fieldy Pricing: Device, Basic Plan and Unlimited Membership

Fieldy pricing: hardware and service are separate

Fieldy is a wearable AI conversation recorder, so its total cost has two layers. First, a buyer purchases Fieldy 3, a physical device that can be worn as a pendant or with an accessory. Second, they decide whether the included Basic membership provides enough transcription and search capacity or whether the optional Unlimited membership is justified. The free software download does not mean the hardware is free. This distinction matters when comparing Fieldy to a phone-based transcription app.

At the time of this research, the vendor checkout displays a temporary $129 anniversary price against a regular $179 Fieldy 3 price. The optional membership is independently listed at $19.99 month-to-month or $15.99 monthly equivalent on standard annual billing in the FAQ. A separate promotional offer advertises $169/year and a $268 first-year device bundle. These numbers represent different purchase routes, not interchangeable regular list prices.

Fieldy 3 device: $129 promotional, $179 regular

The Fieldy 3 checkout lists the wearable at $129 during an anniversary sale, with $179 struck out as the standard device price. It comes with a pendant accessory and USB-C charging cable. The vendor also describes the device as weighing approximately seventeen grams, with up to seven days of typical battery life and offline storage for a limited period. These are published specifications, not Toollers measurements of battery life or recording reliability.

A person buying one device for occasional meetings can use the included Basic membership indefinitely within its allowance, subject to the service’s terms. The final hardware invoice can still vary with taxes, destination and any optional accessories or promotional changes. Before making a budget for several employees, request a current volume quote and clarify whether hardware warranties, loss replacement and software administration are covered separately.

Included Basic membership: 150 monthly minutes

Every Fieldy 3 device comes with Basic, which the vendor describes as allowing 150 transcription minutes each month. Its FAQ says counted minutes reflect detected speech, making the allowance more nuanced than raw elapsed recording time. Basic also offers AI summaries, reminders and speaker identification with important limits: the comparison chart lists five AI chat requests per day, one speaker profile, and searching recent conversations within a seven-day window.

This can work for someone who records two short interviews a week or a handful of important discussions. It will be tight for a consultant recording a one-hour client meeting on most workdays. Users should calculate how much speech is captured across all permitted meetings and allow for longer calls or voice notes. A successful free workflow depends on staying within 150 processed minutes and accepting the more limited export, backup and search experience.

Unlimited monthly membership: $19.99

Fieldy lists Unlimited at $19.99 when billed month-to-month. It removes the 150-minute transcription cap and adds Always-On capture, broader conversation history search, additional speaker profiles and unrestricted AI chat in the vendor comparison. Paid features also extend export formats and cloud backup options. This can be useful for an executive or field professional whose schedule includes frequent approved conversations and who needs to locate details from more than the past week.

Month-to-month billing offers a way to sample increased usage without assuming a year of service. It does not eliminate the initial hardware cost. Buyers should test both wearable and desktop recording, search and export before a longer commitment. Also verify how canceling affects existing archived conversations, advanced features and stored backups, because the vendor’s comparison makes a clear distinction between Basic and Unlimited entitlements.

Unlimited annual billing: normal rate versus promotion

The Fieldy FAQ describes an annual-billed Unlimited equivalent of $15.99 per month. Multiplying that by twelve yields $191.88 as an illustrative full-year amount based on the published monthly equivalent; the exact checkout may round differently. Separately, Fieldy’s current promotional upgrade page offers a $169 annual Unlimited subscription, equivalent to about $14.08 per month. That is a specific offer, not evidence that the standing rate has permanently changed.

When comparing annual billing with monthly service, use the actual cart total and renewal terms rather than an abbreviated marketing callout. A website offer can be cheaper than an in-app purchase, and the same vendor has displayed more than one annual-equivalent figure across its pages. The correct purchasing record should capture the date, currency, first-year amount, renewal rate, cancellation process and taxes. Do not use the promotional equivalent as a universal lifetime price.

Fieldy 3 plus one year of Unlimited bundle

The promotional Unlimited page advertises a $268 bundle covering a Fieldy 3 device and the first year of Unlimited. It also displays a $169 annual renewal statement for that offer. The combination of a standalone $129 sale device and a promotional $169 yearly membership would add to $298, so the advertised bundle provides a $30 difference against those two separate promotional line items. That comparison is simply arithmetic at observed offer amounts.

The bundle does not necessarily have the same cancellation or return treatment as a separately purchased device and a later subscription. Confirm the breakdown on the order form, whether a canceled membership affects device function, and what the refund terms say for the hardware portion. A bundle can be good value if Unlimited is clearly needed, but the cheapest introductory total may not remain the cheapest way to own the device over several years.

Wrist accessory and other possible charges

The checkout currently lists a wrist or watch accessory at $19 in addition to the included pendant. That matters for buyers who want the device to be worn differently during meetings or field work. The press kit describes Fieldy as a pendant or watch-style wearable, but the basic purchase contents should still be checked before assuming every mounting option is included. Replacement accessories and a second device could add material one-time cost.

Check tax at checkout, shipping terms for the destination, payment currency and the price of subscriptions inside the mobile app. Fieldy explicitly warns that in-app memberships may cost more than website purchases because of store platform charges. Do not assume that a discounted website price automatically appears in Apple or Google billing. For professional deployment, account for spare hardware, charging and staff training alongside software fees.

First-year scenarios at current published prices

A buyer who purchases one $129 sale device and stays on Basic has a $129 device outlay before tax, with no additional advertised Basic subscription charge. Someone who buys the same device and pays twelve separate $19.99 monthly Unlimited charges would spend $239.88 on membership and $368.88 combined in a year, assuming the price remains unchanged. Those figures exclude tax and any rate changes during the period.

A purchaser choosing the current $268 bundle has a different advertised first-year total. Someone selecting the separate $169 annual Unlimited offer plus a $129 device would spend $298, compared with the bundle’s $268. These examples should not be interpreted as simultaneous guaranteed checkout choices or lasting prices. Save the final cart and verify whether annual Unlimited renews at the same price before committing to the bundle.

Second-year costs and annual renewal

A wearable subscription creates two different cost curves. Hardware is normally a one-time purchase, while Unlimited can renew. If a buyer keeps the device and remains on Basic, there is no advertised renewal fee for a paid Unlimited membership. If a buyer chooses annual Unlimited, the service charge recurs according to the offer and account terms. The promotional bundle page displays a $169 yearly renewal for the advertised deal, but purchasing routes can have different conditions.

A practical two-year budget should include the confirmed first-year bundle, the written second-year renewal and the cost of replacing or repairing a damaged device outside warranty. Fieldy advertises a one-year device warranty, which is not the same as unlimited accidental damage coverage. A user who records fewer meetings after a role change might prefer to cancel Unlimited and rely on Basic, provided important export and search needs remain covered.

What Unlimited unlocks besides more minutes

The paid plan comparison goes beyond unrestricted transcription. Unlimited provides Always-On capture, more extensive searchable history, unlimited AI chat, unlimited speaker profiles and broader export formats. The upgrade page also mentions cloud backup integrations and priority support. These features matter to people who want to retrieve a conversation from months ago, distinguish frequent speakers and preserve transcripts outside the Fieldy app.

Basic has a shorter search horizon, a single speaker profile, limited AI chat and TXT export in the public grid. A buyer may therefore need Unlimited even while using fewer than 150 minutes if long-term history search or advanced export is essential. Compare the exact features your workflow needs rather than deciding solely by transcript minutes. Storage and backup rights are particularly important for a multi-year archive of business discussions.

Does Fieldy need a phone and internet?

Fieldy 3 pairs with a phone over Bluetooth. Its device guide states that it can store a limited amount of audio offline, described as up to three days of conversations, and then synchronize when a compatible phone is available. The AI transcription and summary service requires a phone internet connection for processing. That means the wearable is not an indefinitely standalone, offline AI recorder with unlimited storage or instant summaries in every location.

Field workers should test connectivity and storage behavior before relying on Fieldy for important interviews. A day without phone service might still yield an audio capture, but completion of AI processing can be delayed. Users should know how to confirm that a recording has synchronized and how to recover when the companion app fails. A lower subscription fee is irrelevant if the device cannot capture the critical conversation under the expected conditions.

Desktop recording may change the value calculation

Fieldy also offers desktop meeting recording for supported macOS and Windows environments, so the subscription can serve more than one capture scenario. A user may record permitted in-person discussions with the wearable and online meetings with the computer, reviewing both in a common account. The vendor’s desktop guide covers online meeting workflows, searchable notes, speaker labeling and the same login identity as the companion app.

Before paying for Unlimited, test whether online meetings are already documented adequately by another team tool. A consultant with a dedicated meeting assistant may use Fieldy primarily in person, making Basic enough on some weeks. A buyer without existing call capture may value the unified system more highly. Check the desktop device, permission requirements and actual subscription entitlements; a microphone accessory alone does not guarantee a reliable transcript.

Returns, warranty and cancellations

Fieldy’s return policy offers a 14-day window measured from delivery for eligible hardware. Returns must meet condition, accessory and packaging requirements; the buyer pays return shipping, and the company says no restocking fee applies to eligible returns. The site advertises a one-year hardware warranty. These are different rights: a return for preference, a warranty claim and a subscription cancellation can have different procedures.

The vendor says Unlimited can be canceled. A customer should confirm whether the membership was purchased on the Fieldy website or in an app store and follow that billing channel’s renewal controls. Before canceling a paid tier, export anything that may not remain available on Basic, such as older search results or advanced-format backups. Do not assume a subscription cancellation automatically requests a hardware return or refund.

Business deployment and privacy checks

A fleet deployment adds costs beyond device and membership lines. Administrators must determine which staff may capture conversations, how consent is obtained, where transcripts can be stored and when recordings should be deleted. Fieldy advertises healthcare-oriented controls and says a Business Associate Agreement is available for customers purchasing at least twenty devices. That is a vendor claim and threshold, not independent proof that a particular use satisfies every applicable privacy requirement.

Request written documentation and a contract tailored to the organization before using Fieldy with sensitive conversations. Evaluate who has access to the original speech, transcript, speaker tags and linked AI assistants. Include training and audit processes in the budget. Since wearable recording can occur away from meeting platforms, it may require additional notice procedures and participant permissions that a normal conference-call workflow does not make obvious.

Fieldy versus Plaud and software-only meeting apps

Plaud NotePin S offers another wearable recording route, and Omi is an alternative for conversational memory with open-source-oriented options. Compare actual device availability, pickup, battery, storage and subscription treatment rather than assuming all wearable products bill the same way. A less expensive device can be costly over time if required transcript capacity demands an expensive plan, while a more expensive recorder might have a better fit for the physical environment.

Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai avoid the need to buy a wearable if the primary purpose is remote meetings or occasional phone recordings. Their app permissions and cloud workflows are different from a pendant that can be activated in person. Compare the total first-year cost of hardware plus AI against a software subscription and remember that the correct product must work where conversations actually happen.

Pricing verification and research method

These figures come from Fieldy’s live device checkout, FAQ, upgrade and Unlimited pages checked November 5, 2026. The $129 device, $169 annual membership and $268 bundle are visible promotional offers, while $179 regular hardware and $19.99/$15.99 membership references appear elsewhere in the vendor’s materials. The article keeps those paths distinct and labels arithmetic examples explicitly. No purchase or invoice was obtained for this research.

The performance and compliance statements in this pricing guide are published vendor representations. Toollers has not tested battery, audio pickup, cloud processing, return handling or security architecture. Confirm the current cart, billing channel, recording permission rules and the exact membership feature grid before purchasing. Users should particularly verify whether older transcripts remain accessible if they stop Unlimited and return to Basic.
