## Shortlist

### 1. HeyGen

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

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Unused credits: yes — Unused monthly credits carry into one further cycle, roughly 60 days in all, and annual subscribers accumulate theirs until renewal; everything unused is lost if you drop to Free.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/15126059-how-to-use-credits-on-heygen)
- [Commercial use: yes — From the cheapest paid plan upward you own what you generate and may publish it commercially: the terms give Creator, Pro and Business users all rights in their output for their own purposes including commercial ones, while the Free plan's separate clause restricts output to personal, non-commercial evaluation.](https://www.heygen.com/terms)
- [Your voice trains their models: partial — Non-enterprise customer data may be used to train HeyGen's models with an opt-out published in the privacy policy, enterprise data is excluded, and the vendor says voice data never trains shared AI voices.](https://www.heygen.com/trust-and-safety)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none. The price shown first is the plain month-to-month rate: each plan card opens with its Monthly control selected at $29, $49 and $149, and only switching the card's own control to Yearly drops Creator to $24 a month billed as $288 for the year, advertised as two months free rather than as an introductory discount.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Voices that use more: partial — The newer engines burn the allowance far faster, 48 credits a minute for Avatar V against 4 for an Avatar III video look, and Precision dubbing costs 10 a minute against Speed's 6; no per-voice rate difference is published.](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)

### 2. Murf AI

Voice-over Studio with timeline video syncing, downloadable audio, dubbing, and a public API.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Unused credits: yes — Unused Studio time can roll into only the immediately following renewal cycle and is lost after cancellation.](https://help.murf.ai/vgt-carry-forward)
- [Commercial use: yes — Creator includes commercial rights, while the free trial explicitly lacks commercial rights and downloadable files.](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Audiobook files: yes — Murf markets audiobook narration with a voice per character and a publishable render; it names no retail store or chapter packaging.](https://murf.ai/voiceover/audiobooks)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): partial — Ten hours a month is not sold self-serve: Business tops out at eight hours for $99, so you must talk to sales.](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Voices that use more: partial — On the API the studio-quality text to speech model costs three times the newest Falcon 2.1 model per thousand characters, so the choice of model changes what speech costs; Studio subscriptions instead meter hours of voice generation with no per-voice rate stated on this page.](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Instant cloning: partial — Instant voice cloning uses one short reference recording but is Enterprise API access that must be enabled for the workspace.](https://help.murf.ai/are-there-any-specifications-for-recording-the-voice-data)

### 3. Voicemaker

Credit-metered AI text-to-speech studio with 2,000+ voices, voice cloning, speech-to-speech and SRT export.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Unused credits: partial — Rollover is plan-dependent: Starter and Creator get none, Pro monthly carries credits one billing cycle, Teams and Business up to three months.](https://voicemaker.in/faq)
- [Commercial use: yes — Commercial publishing rights begin with Starter and apply to every paid Voicemaker plan.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [Your voice trains their models: no — Voicemaker says it does not train its general voice models on your text, audio or training recordings unless you give separate explicit research consent.](https://voicemaker.in/terms)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none — Starter is shown as a monthly subscription, while annual billing is displayed separately.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts work, but in chunks: per-conversion caps run from 250 characters free to 10,000 on Pro, with Studio Grade Stitching smoothing continuity past 1,000 characters.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [API: partial — A full REST API for text-to-speech, speech-to-speech and speech-to-text exists, but only on a separate pay-as-you-go developer platform rather than inside the subscription plans.](https://voicemaker.in/faq)

### 4. Narakeet

Duration-priced browser voice-over and narrated-video maker with non-expiring capacity.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Unused credits: yes — Purchased capacity remains available for future use rather than expiring at a monthly billing boundary.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Commercial use: yes — Any paid commercial account permits commercial publishing, while free-account materials remain limited to personal evaluation.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/usage-rights-copyright/)
- [Audiobook files: yes — The vendor sells audiobook making by name, taking chapters as Word, EPUB or PDF files and returning MP3, WAV or M4A; it names no retail store delivery spec.](https://www.narakeet.com/create/text-to-voice-audiobooks.html)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none — Narakeet describes its public capacity purchase as a one-time payment, not a promotion or recurring subscription.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Voices that use more: no — Charging depends on output length alone, not on which of the 900 voices you pick, so newer or more expressive voices do not drain the allowance faster.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Lip sync: no — Its documented voice-over dubbing leaves the original visuals unchanged while replacing the audio track.](https://www.narakeet.com/create/ai-dubbing.html)

### 5. TopMediai

AI studio for text to speech, voice cloning and video dubbing on one shared credit balance.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Professional cloning: yes — A separate High-Precision mode trains on longer recordings and is described as capturing speaking style, emotion and rhythm rather than timbre alone.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/ai-voice-cloning/)
- [Video dubbing: yes — Uploading a video or a link and picking a target language returns dubbed audio that the vendor says keeps the original speaker's vocal character.](https://www.topmediai.com/ai-dubbing/)
- [Support: yes — Support is by email through the support center with a stated weekday turnaround, plus a public Discord; no live chat is offered.](https://www.topmediai.com/support/)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — Only basic pronunciation fixes are offered in the web editor; the vendor points advanced phonetic control at the API instead of the studio.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/text-to-speech/)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts are handled in a separate Long Text mode inside Voiceover Studio, but a single generation in the main editor is capped at 4,000 characters.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/pricing/)
- [Consent of the voice’s owner: partial — The terms make you warrant that the voice owner authorized the clone, but describe no verification step or proof the vendor collects before cloning.](https://www.topmediai.com/terms-conditions/)

### 6. Typecast

Expressive AI voice generator with emotion controls, voice cloning and a developer speech API.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Commercial use: yes — A commercial license starts on the cheapest paid Studio plan, Basic at $5 a month, which also makes attribution optional; the $0 Free plan carries no commercial license and requires attribution on everything downloaded.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Your voice trains their models: partial — You must consent to your upload being used to train your own custom voice, and no page offers a way to decline while still cloning.](https://typecast.ai/voice-cloning/)
- [What the free plan leaves on your audio: yes — Free downloads must carry a spoken or written credit naming Typecast and the characters used, and the free API tier forbids commercial use outright.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/api/)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): partial — Ten hours a month exceeds every published allowance; only Business may buy extra credits, and the vendor publishes no price for those web top-ups.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Emotion, pace and emphasis: partial — Emotion, pitch, intonation and dynamics are Pro features and speed starts at Plus, so the two cheapest paid plans cannot shape delivery.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts are handled chapter by chapter through the command line tool, and single requests to the speech API cap at 2,000 characters.](https://typecast.ai/docs/cli-reference/use-cases/audiobook-generation)

### 7. Akool

AI video suite with video translation, lip sync, text to speech, voice cloning and a voice changer.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Unused credits: partial — Subscription credits are issued per billing period and expire unused on every self-serve plan; only Enterprise is listed with credits that do not expire, so rollover is a higher-tier property.](https://www.akool.com/refund-policy)
- [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)
- [Video dubbing: yes — You upload a video and Video Translation transcribes, translates and re-voices it, with an option to keep the speaker's own voice through the voice cloning and AI voice selection features.](https://www.akool.com/apps/video-translation)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [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)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Text to speech is capped per use rather than organized as a long project: 2,000 characters per use on Starter rising to 50,000 on Business, with a separate 3,000-character ceiling for Doubao voices.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Several speakers: partial — Video Translation detects multiple speakers in an uploaded video so each gets its own translated voice, but no page read describes assigning several voices inside one text to speech script.](https://www.akool.com/apps/video-translation)

### 8. Speechma

Free text to speech and creator audio tools with no account or credit card.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Commercial use: yes — Commercial use is included for generated audio when the buyer owns rights to source text, recordings, and videos.](https://speechma.com/faq)
- [Your voice trains their models: no — Your recordings are processed only to make the result you asked for, are not kept after processing, and infrastructure partners may not use them for their own purposes.](https://speechma.com/privacy)
- [Video dubbing: yes — The dubbing tool accepts an uploaded video or direct link and produces a translated video with an automatic or selected target-language voice.](https://speechma.com/ai-dubbing)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none: the free price is permanent rather than an introductory rate, and the vendor states there is no trial and no card involved at all.](https://speechma.com/)
- [Voices that use more: no — Premium HD voices do not consume more allowance: they are free on the site, and every API plan includes the full voice catalog at one character rate.](https://speechma.com/api/)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — There is no pronunciation dictionary that applies across a project: the vendor's only stated fix is respelling the word phonetically in the script each time.](https://speechma.com/faq)

### 9. Amazon Polly

Pay-per-character cloud text to speech from AWS, with four voice engines and a browser console.

**Where it improves on Fish Audio:**
- [Commercial use: yes — Output may be published and resold from the first character, free tier included: the vendor states no restrictions on storing or reusing generated speech and confirms the audio belongs to you.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/faqs/)

**Trade-offs against Fish Audio:**

- [Re-voice your recording: no — It converts written text only; you send text and get audio back, so there is no way to record your own line and have it returned in another voice with your timing.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/faqs/)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts go through the asynchronous task operation, capped at 100,000 billed characters per submission, while a single direct request takes 3,000 billed characters and ten minutes of audio; there are no chapters or per-line regeneration.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/limits.html)
