Where these prices come from
fish.audio/plan, checked
What we checked on Fish Audio
Cost for 2 hours a month
Two hours of speech needs 120 of the 200 minutes the $15/month Plus plan includes, and Plus is the cheapest tier whose feature list states commercial use is allowed.
Up to 200 minutes generation
fish.audio/planChecked
Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use)
Ten hours is 600 minutes, over the Plus allowance, so it needs Pro at $100 a month month-to-month, which includes up to 1,620 minutes of generation.
Up to 1,620 minutes generation

Promotion and regular price
promotion: the plan cards opened with a campaign banner halving the first month, and the annual toggle also shows a per-month figure, so two discounts stack on the headline price.
Limited time: 50% off your first month

What the price counts
Plans are metered in monthly credits: 8,000 on Free, 250,000 on Plus, 2,000,000 on Pro and 25,000,000 on Max, with the FAQ converting credits into minutes of speech.
Each minute of generation costs roughly 600 to 625 credits.

Voices that use more
Newer and borrowed voices cost more: on the MCP surface another team's professional clone is charged double, and in the API the drama-3 model lists at more than triple s2.1-pro.
Speech and Story Studio audio in another team's professional voice clone cost double, and failed generations are refunded.

Unused credits
Monthly allowances reset with the billing cycle and anything left is lost, which the vendor states plainly and pairs with advice to spend the allowance inside the period.
Monthly quotas reset at the beginning of each billing cycle. Unused minutes do not roll over to the next month.
fish.audio/planChecked
Commercial use
Publishing commercially starts one plan above the free one: the Free Tier card lists commercial use among the features it does not include and the vendor restricts free output to personal projects, while Plus at $15 a month lists commercial use allowed, limited to voices you own and have verified.
Premium subscribers can use verified voices (that you own) for commercial purposes. Free plan users can only use generated content for personal,…

Stock voices
The voice library is community-driven and the vendor advertises more than two million uploaded voices to pick from, alongside its own curated defaults.
The Fish Audio platform hosts over 2,000,000 voices, ideal for diverse scenarios from creative storytelling and dynamic advertisements to immersive…
fish.audioChecked
Languages
The vendor names eight languages for text to speech with native accents, though a homepage solutions tile claims 30+ languages, so the count depends which page you read.
Fish Audio supports multiple languages including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Arabic, and Spanish.

Re-voice your recording
A Voice Changer tool in the web app takes an uploaded recording and renders it in another voice, so your own delivery can be carried into a different voice.
Upload audio and transform it into another voice.
Emotion, pace and emphasis
Delivery is directed with bracketed emotion and pause tags in the text, and the API exposes prosody speed from 0.5 to 2.0 plus volume for finer control.
Adjust speech speed (0.5–2.0) and volume.
Pronunciation fixes
Reusable pronunciation dictionaries are built and published in the web app and then referenced from text to speech requests, so one fix applies across a whole project.
Create, preview, and publish reusable pronunciation rules.
Long scripts and chapters
Story Studio is a project editor for long-form, multi-speaker audio, and its credit rule says blocks whose audio is current are free, so single blocks can be regenerated cheaply.
Assemble multi-speaker, long-form audio (audiobooks, dialogue, and narration) in a project editor.
Audiobook files
The vendor advertises chapter-level audiobook narration meeting Audible's ACX specs, but it documents no retail-ready export package or store delivery step, only audio files.
Publish-ready storytelling with lifelike pacing, emotion, and chapter-level control. Generate hours of audio that meets ACX/Audible specs without a…

Several speakers
Story Studio projects are explicitly multi-speaker, and the s2-pro and drama-3 models support multi-speaker dialogue inside a single generation.

Audio you get
Downloads cover MP3 with selectable bitrate, uncompressed WAV at a chosen sample rate, raw PCM and Opus, so quality can be matched to the delivery channel.
mp3 (default), wav, pcm, opus. Set format (and optionally mp3_bitrate, sample_rate).
Instant cloning
A clone can be made from a very short sample with no training step, and the Free tier already carries three public voice slots, though it lacks the enhanced cloning paid plans get.
Instead of a saved reference_id, pass raw audio plus its transcript to clone a voice on the fly, with no training step. Best with a clean 10–30s…
Professional cloning
Professional Voice Clone trains on at least ten minutes of recordings for studio quality, but it is excluded from Free and each paid plan grants a fixed number of slots, one on Plus.
A paid plan with a free PVC slot. Professional Voice Clone is not included in the Free plan.
Consent of the voice’s owner
For professional clones you record a spoken prompt that is matched against your uploads, or upload authorization documents for staff review, and you tick a permission declaration before release.
You must have permission to clone the voice: you own it, or you have the speaker's consent. You confirm this before you release the voice.
Your voice trains their models
The terms authorize Fish Audio to train its models on your content and usage data, and the only published way out is the Enterprise plan's zero data retention, not a self-serve switch.
Usage Data and Content may be used to develop, train, or enhance artificial intelligence or machine learning models that are part of Fish.Audio's…

Video dubbing
Audio Translation transcribes and translates speech into text you read, not dubbed audio in the speaker's voice, and the product takes audio files rather than video.
We use automatic speech recognition (ASR) to transcribe your audio into text in its original language, then translate that text into your chosen…
fish.audio/translate-audioChecked
Lip sync
Lip-sync exists for avatars built from your images and videos against a Fish Audio voice, and needs a Plus plan or higher; it is not offered as lip matching for a translated dub.
Video (including lip sync and talking avatars) needs a Plus plan or higher, and Story Studio export needs a paid plan.
docs.fish.audio/overview/mcpChecked
Captions and subtitles
Word-level timestamps and speaker turns come back from transcription and the vendor's cookbook turns them into SRT or VTT cues, but that is a developer recipe rather than a caption download in the studio.
Group word-level timestamps into SRT/VTT cues.
Team seats
Shared team workspaces start at Pro with three seats included and ten on Max, but no price per additional seat is published anywhere on the plan page.
3 team seats included
fish.audio/planChecked
API
A REST and WebSocket API with Python and JavaScript SDKs is sold pay-as-you-go; the docs say no subscription is required while the plan FAQ says premium subscribers get access, which conflicts.
The Fish Audio API uses pay-as-you-go pricing based on actual usage. There are no subscription fees or monthly minimums for API access.
API price
The developer docs publish a public pay-as-you-go rate card with no subscription floor: text to speech is billed per million UTF-8 bytes, which the vendor equates to roughly 12 hours of speech, and transcription is billed per audio hour.
On the page: API Pricing section, opening paragraph above the Text-to-Speech models price table
Platforms
web: the whole product runs in the browser with no install, and every tool from cloning to Story Studio is reachable from the signed-in web app.
The Fish Audio web app gives you every capability without writing code: generate speech, clone voices, produce long-form projects, and manage your…
Works inside
An OAuth MCP server plugs the account into Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Windsurf, and official Python and JavaScript SDKs cover custom pipelines; no Canva, Adobe or WordPress plugin is documented.

What the free plan leaves on your audio
Free output may not be monetized or used commercially, which the plan card and FAQ both state; whether that audio is watermarked or credited is not addressed anywhere.
