Comparison

A Natively alternative when you want provider costs included.

The key distinction is operational: Beak includes transcription and hosted AI in its allowance. Natively publishes both managed API tiers and lower-cost BYOK licensing where the customer supplies model access.

Exact plan basis

What each published price buys

  • Beak Standard Pro: $29/month for 6 hours, with hosted providers included.
  • Natively’s official 2026 pricing article listed managed tiers at $8, $15, $25, and $35 per month.
  • The same Natively article listed BYOK Pro at $30/year or $50 lifetime; customers remain responsible for their own provider keys and charges in BYOK mode.

Choose based on who operates the stack

Beak is the simpler managed option: one account balance and no provider keys. Natively’s BYOK model can suit technically comfortable users who want local control and will manage their own costs.

Beak limitations

  • Beak does not offer BYOK or a lifetime license.
  • Beak’s included time is finite.
  • Beak currently routes models on the server instead of exposing a model picker.

Methodology

How we made this comparison

We separated managed and BYOK products because their prices do not include the same inputs. We report list prices and do not treat a one-time software license as equivalent to hosted transcription and model usage.
