How it works

The box measures, the subscription proves

A Mute Box works on its own. What a subscription adds is the platform that turns a measurement into an argument: classified events, history, time spent above the legal limit, reports. That platform is what the subscription pays for — servers, cellular data, and the work of keeping it accurate.

Without a subscription Local only

The box stays a sensor. Honest, complete, and entirely yours.

  • Continuous local measurement
  • Raw stream to Home Assistant
  • Level on the box display
  • No data sent to MUTE
  • No dashboard, no history, no reports
Subscriptions

Own the box, or let us provide it

Two ways in. Either you bought a box and add the Dashboard to it, or we ship you a station and the subscription covers everything — hardware, SIM, replacement. The same hardware is never sold at two prices.

Dashboard On a box you own
€12/month
per box · €9 from 5 boxes · €7 from 10 · €120/year

Unlock the platform on the Mute Box you bought. Cancel any time — the box keeps measuring locally.

  • Everything the platform does
  • Per box, degressive from 5
  • Yearly billing, two months free
  • Your box stays yours
Pro Wi-Fi Station included
€19.99/month
excl. VAT · Wi-Fi station provided

For a guest house, a terrace, a school: we send the station, you plug it in, the dashboard is included.

  • Wi-Fi station provided
  • Delivered by post, you plug it in
  • Full dashboard access
  • 12 months of history kept
  • Replacement included

On the rental plans the station remains MUTE property. It is delivered by post and installed by you — plug it in, it claims itself. At the end of the subscription we send a prepaid return label; if the station is not returned within 30 days, a non-return fee applies: €120 in the first year, €70 in the second, €40 after that (€50 and €25 for the Wi-Fi station).

Pricing FAQ

The honest answers

No. Without a subscription a Mute Box measures locally and sends nothing to us — that mode is free and always will be, because it costs us nothing. The moment data reaches our servers, someone has to pay for those servers, the cellular data and the work of keeping the platform accurate. We would rather say so plainly than run a free tier we cannot sustain.
For the box you buy, yes — it connects over your own Wi-Fi. Where there is no Wi-Fi, the autonomous station is the answer: solar-powered, with its own cellular link. It comes with the Pro Autonomous plan only, because the SIM and the network are part of the service.
No. The Mute Box is an indicative acoustic monitoring tool, built to help you understand and document noise. It is not a certified IEC 61672 sound-level meter.
If you want to own your hardware and keep everything at home, buy the Wi-Fi box — and add the Dashboard the day you need history, events and reports. If you would rather not buy anything, or you need to measure where there is no Wi-Fi, take a Pro plan: we provide the station, the dashboard is included.
A box you bought keeps measuring locally and stays yours — you lose the dashboard, not the device. A rented station has to come back to us: we send a prepaid return label, and you have 30 days.
