|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free Free Trying the briefing and meeting notes without the inbox features. | Basic Free Trying it, or anyone who only needs the last month of notes. | FreeOur pick Free Everyone. The launcher, clipboard history and all extensions. |
ProOur pick $49/mo, or $37/mo billed yearly One person with a heavy inbox. | BusinessOur pick $14/user/mo Anyone in regular client or sales calls. | Pro $10/mo, or $8/mo billed yearly People who want AI one keystroke away. | |
Team $99/mo, or $64/mo billed yearly Teams who share clients and follow-ups. | Enterprise $35/user/mo Companies that need admin control over who records what. | Plus $20/mo, or $16/mo billed yearly Daily AI users who want the top models. | |
Enterprise Custom Companies needing private hosting and audit logs. | Max $50/mo, or $40/mo billed yearly Heavy AI users who want it all inside Raycast. | ||

Enterprise Custom IT-managed rollouts. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Pro on the yearly plan is the only one that makes sense for an individual; the monthly price is steep. Free is really a taster for the meeting notes, not the inbox. Team is only worth it when several people handle the same clients. | Start on Basic and see how it fits your week. If you find yourself wanting a call from six weeks ago, that's your signal to move to Business. Enterprise is only for IT-managed rollouts. | Use Free until you catch yourself wishing the AI was there. Then Pro. Plus and Max only make sense if Raycast becomes your main way of talking to AI, and most people already pay for Claude or ChatGPT separately. |
