Bee Pro Explained: What $11.99 a Month Gets You (and What Stays Free)
Amazon prices the hardware low — $74.99 and $99.99 — and puts many of the most useful features in a subscription, Bee Pro, at $11.99 a month. Before you buy, it helps to know exactly where that line falls.
Included with the device
- Conversation summaries
- Recaps
- 14-day memory — Bee remembers the last two weeks
That is enough to see whether you like the idea. It is not enough to use Bee as a long-term memory.
What Bee Pro adds
| Feature | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Unlimited recent summaries | No cap on how much you can look back through |
| Suggested to-dos | Action items pulled from conversations automatically |
| Daily memories | A day-by-day record you can browse |
| Personal chat assistant | Ask questions like "what did Priya say about the deadline?" |
| Conversation templates | Structured write-ups for lectures, care plans and brainstorms |
| Desktop app (Mac & Windows) | Read and work with Bee on your computer |
| Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook | Find action items, draft follow-up emails, create invites |
| Apple HealthKit, Photos | Link conversations with health and photo context |
| Alexa+ | Ask your Echo for your Bee summaries and to-dos, recognised by voice ID |
| Amazon.com integration | Shopping recommendations based on what you talk about |
New customers get 30 days of Bee Pro free.
The cost over time
At $11.99 a month, a year of Pro is about $144 — nearly twice the price of a Frontier. Over two years the subscription dominates the total cost. Amazon has not published an annual plan.
Existing Bee Pioneer owners
Owners of the original Pioneer keep the features they have today at no charge. Founder Maria de Lourdes Zollo framed it as thanks to early users, according to Engadget.
Who should pay?
- Pay if you need templates (students, carers), want to search months of conversations, or live in Gmail/Outlook and want automatic follow-ups.
- Stay free if you mostly want a recap of today's meeting and are happy to copy key points elsewhere.
- Think twice about the Amazon.com link. It is opt-in. It means products you mention in conversation can show up as recommendations on Amazon. Some will find that handy; many will find it uncomfortable.
What we could not confirm
Whether Bee Pro can be bought outside the US, whether there is an annual price, and whether family sharing exists. We will update this page when Amazon says more.
