## Shortlist

### 1. Google Cloud Text-to-Speech

A text-to-speech service from Google Cloud, which offers AI and cloud computing services.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Your voice trains their models: no — The Google Cloud Service Specific Terms say customer data is not used to train or fine-tune models without the customer's permission, and the data logging page says no text or audio is logged.](https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms)
- [Free plan or trial: yes — A demo box on the product page speaks typed text, and each month includes free characters (1 to 4 million depending on the voice family). Billing must still be enabled, and new Google Cloud customers get up to $300 in credits.](https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Visitors can start a free Cloud trial from the public product page before contacting sales.](https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Re-voice your recording: partial — Custom voice accepts a supplied voice recording, but documented synthesis takes text as input and returns audio.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/gemini-tts)
- [Instant cloning: partial — Chirp 3 instant custom voice clones a voice from about 10 seconds of audio, but access is limited to allow-listed users who request it from sales. It costs $60 per million characters with no free allowance.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/chirp3-instant-custom-voice)
- [Support: partial — Free help is community-based (Stack Overflow, a Google group and Slack). Phone support, 24/7 coverage and a technical manager come only with a paid Google Cloud support package. Billing questions have a support form.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/getting-support)

### 2. HeyGen

AI avatar video, voice cloning and video translation into 175+ languages with lip sync.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Free plan or trial: yes — A standing Free plan needs no credit card and allows three watermarked videos a month, each up to one minute, with one voice clone and limited trial access to premium features such as lip-sync translation.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Every published plan is bought online: the Free, Creator, Pro and Business cards all link straight to checkout with the price and credit count in the link, and switching or canceling is done in the account, with only the unpriced Enterprise tier routed through Contact Sales.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Only Business can buy extra credits, at $5 per 100-credit block ($0.05 a credit) with optional auto-reload; Creator and Pro cannot buy credit packs and must move to a higher plan or Pro tier instead.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/15126059-how-to-use-credits-on-heygen)
- [Audio you get: partial — You can download just the audio or the captions SRT beside the video, and MP3 or MP4 from the podcast and cloning flows; audio-only export of a translation is Enterprise-only, and no bitrate is published for app exports.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/9834825-how-to-download-or-export-a-video)
- [Editing the translation: partial — Proofread, also called Review & Edit, lets you correct the translated script word by word before the final render, but it starts on Pro: the comparison table marks it off for Free and Creator.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/10029081-how-to-get-started-with-video-translation)

### 3. Rask AI

Video dubbing into 135+ languages in the speaker's cloned voice, billed per minute of finished video.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Your voice trains their models: no — Rask states your content runs in a closed AI environment and is never used to train general models, so there is no training to opt out of; it offers full export and no lock-in.](https://www.rask.ai/home)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — The three published plans are bought online by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and other methods through Stripe; only Enterprise, priced Custom, routes through sales.](https://www.rask.ai/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Extra minutes cost $3 each on Creator Pro and Business; on the entry Creator plan the only way to get more minutes is to upgrade to a higher plan.](https://help.rask.ai/hc/explaining-free-trial-subscription-plans-and-minutes-rask-help-center)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — Only by respelling the word in each line. No pronunciation dictionary. You change how a word is said by spelling it differently in the script text, line by line.](https://www.rask.ai/api/text-to-speech-api)
- [Lip sync: partial — Lip sync works for one or several faces, but it is not available on the free trial or Creator and costs three extra minutes per minute of video on Creator Pro and above.](https://help.rask.ai/hc/the-lip-sync-feature-rask-help-center)

### 4. VEED

Browser video editor with AI voice-over, voice cloning, dubbing and subtitles in one workspace.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Free plan or trial: yes — A standing Free plan at $0 lets you try it with your own script: 50 AI credits a month and text to speech up to 10 minutes a month, but exports are watermarked, capped at 10 minutes and 720p, and dubbing and voice cloning are a one-time try.](https://www.veed.io/pricing/index.html.md)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Four of the five plans are bought online by card, PayPal or Apple and Google Pay through Stripe, with no sales conversation; only Enterprise, education and team trials route through a contact form.](https://www.veed.io/pricing/index.html.md)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Commercial use: partial — Watermark-free export, which is what makes published work usable, starts on Creator; the AI content policy grants use of output for any legal purpose but words that grant around AI Images rather than generated audio, so the audio license is not spelled out.](https://www.veed.io/terms-of-use/ai-tools)
- [Re-voice your recording: partial — You can hand VEED a recording and get the speech back in another voice, but only through AI dubbing, which is documented solely as translation into a target language; no same-language voice replacement that keeps your original delivery is described.](https://www.veed.io/tools/voice-dubber/ai-dubbing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — A Custom Vocabulary dictionary that teaches VEED brand names and industry terms exists from Pro upward, but the vendor describes it as improving recognition in transcription rather than as fixing how a text-to-speech voice pronounces a word.](https://www.veed.io/tools/video-translator)

### 5. AKOOL

AI video suite that re-voices your footage in 155+ languages with a clone of the speaker and lip sync.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Your voice trains their models: no — The Terms of Service rule out training on customer material outright, so there is nothing to opt out of; the content policy repeats the guarantee for uploaded and generated content.](https://www.akool.com/terms-of-service)
- [Free plan or trial: yes — A $0 plan lets you try text to speech five times with up to 1,000 characters each, and translate videos up to 5 minutes. Sign-up grants 20 free credits.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Starter through Business are bought online with an Upgrade button and a card charged through Stripe; only the Enterprise tier routes to a sales conversation instead of a price.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Running past the allowance is handled by buying credit packs, which the plan cards list only from Pro upward, plus an opt-in Dynamic Billing overdraft; no per-credit overage rate is published.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Commercial use: partial — The comparison table grants a business license only on the $249 Business plan; Starter, Pro and Pro Max carry a personal license and the Free plan shows no license at all, so publishing commercially means buying up.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — A Voice Dictionary fixes how words are said across a translation project, but the comparison table withholds it from the Free plan, and brand-terminology Studio Voice only starts on Pro Max.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)

### 6. Synthesia

AI video platform that turns a script into avatar video with voice-over in 140+ languages.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Free plan or trial: yes — The standing Basic plan costs nothing and grants 500 credits a month, about ten minutes of video, but its videos carry a Synthesia watermark.](https://www.synthesia.io/pricing)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — The Basic, Starter, and Pro plans each have a direct Get started purchase or signup route.](https://www.synthesia.io/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Generation stops at the cap and you either buy extra credits or move up a plan, but the price of those extra credit packs is not published anywhere on the pricing page.](https://www.synthesia.io/pricing)
- [Commercial use: partial — Paid plans from Starter let you download and publish on your site, YouTube and social, but stock avatars and voices are barred from any paid promotion, and the free Basic plan cannot download at all.](https://help.synthesia.io/en/articles/6341928-synthesia-video-licensing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — You can set a phonetic pronunciation per word and apply it to every instance in the current video, but saving it to a workspace Glossary so it holds across all videos is Enterprise-only.](https://help.synthesia.io/en/articles/9399195-how-do-i-use-pronunciation-in-synthesia)

### 7. Perso Dubbing

Video dubbing that keeps the speaker's own voice in each language, with lip sync from the entry plan.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [AI labelling: yes — Output carries provenance metadata under the C2PA standard that marks it as AI-generated, and the vendor is a member of the Content Authenticity Initiative.](https://perso.ai/ethics)
- [Free plan or trial: yes — The web Free plan gives one dub of your own video at signup, in 720p with a watermark and no card; the desktop app dubs locally for free with a low-quality model in 10 languages.](https://perso.ai/ai-dubbing)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — The four public plans are bought online by card through Stripe; only the Enterprise tier goes through a sales conversation.](https://perso.ai/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Extra credits can be bought from Creator up, and PRO adds premium credit packs, but the top-up prices are not shown on the plan page; Starter lists no top-up and stops new generation when credits run out.](https://perso.ai/m/dubbing?lang=en)
- [Commercial use: partial — The vendor says it supports commercial use and that the member owns AI-generated results, but no plan card names a commercial license, and the terms list commercial use without the company's consent as a prohibited act.](https://info.perso.ai/policy-perso-saas/policy/terms-of-service-en/docs/260526.html)
- [Re-voice your recording: partial — You can upload your own recording and get it back speaking another language in your own voice, but this happens only inside the dubbing workflow, not as a standalone voice conversion tool.](https://perso.ai/voice-cloning)

### 8. Maestra

Browser editor that subtitles, translates and dubs uploaded video with voice cloning, plus a live-event translator.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — The public Voiceover plan table provides Subscribe Now links for Basic through Business Plus plans.](https://maestra.ai/pricing?billing=monthly&type=voiceover)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Transcription and subtitles sell top-up credits at $12 per 60 credits, but the four voiceover plan cards list no pay-as-you-go pack and no per-minute overage rate, so what happens when a voiceover allowance runs out is not priced on this page.](https://maestra.ai/pricing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — A reusable custom dictionary with per-word importance ranks exists from the Basic plan, but the vendor documents it as improving transcription accuracy rather than fixing how a voice says a name.](https://maestra.ai/help/custom-dictionary)
- [Instant cloning: partial — A voice can be cloned from a recording of one to two minutes, but cloning needs a subscription and the plan cards list it only from Premium ($99 a month) upward, not on Basic.](https://maestra.ai/tools/ai-voice-cloning)

[View Maestra](https://dubsheet.com/maestra)

### 9. Deepgram Aura

Per-character text to speech API from a speech-recognition company, tuned for real-time voice agents.

**Where it improves on Deepdub:**
- [Free plan or trial: yes — New accounts get a $200 credit that does not expire and needs no credit card, so you can generate speech from your own script before paying; after it is spent, usage bills pay-as-you-go.](https://deepgram.com/pricing)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Anyone can create a free account with credit, then use documented API keys and direct usage pricing.](https://deepgram.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Deepdub:**
- [Emotion, pace and emphasis: partial — Aura-2 lets you set speaking speed and override pronunciation, but it does not support inserted pauses. The expressivity control and pause markers apply to the newer Flux model only, and there are no emphasis or style tags.](https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/tts-voice-controls)
- [Your voice trains their models: yes — Deepgram may use customer content to improve models, but APIs can exclude each request through a documented parameter.](https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/the-deepgram-model-improvement-partnership-program)
