The route users described: a subscription in the iOS app
Wispr Flow has an iPhone app, and a subscription inside it is taken out as an ordinary App Store purchase. The price there comes from the store's regional price list, not from the wisprflow.ai website, so for a Russian account it is set in rubles. This is how the route is described in previously published user reports. The company itself does not advertise this way of paying.
