## What we checked on Murf AI

### What an hour of speech costs

**Cost for 2 hours a month** · Yes — $29 a month on Creator for 2 hours of 60 minutes (120 minutes of finished audio). Billing increment not stated: computed per second (60 min a hour). If they round each hour up to the minute (60 min), it is $29. an hour of finished speech is 60 minutes of audio; generation you do not download or keep is not counted where the vendor meters downloads

> $29 / month
> — https://murf.ai/pricing · Studio tab, monthly billing position, plan card, checked 29 October 2026

**Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use)** · Partly — Ten hours a month is not sold self-serve: Business tops out at eight hours for $99, so you must talk to sales.

**Cost to dub 60 minutes a month** · Yes — Dubbing is metered at two credits per minute per language and credits cost twenty-five cents each, so one hour of video into one language works out at thirty dollars, which the page's own calculator confirms; the free dub plan keeps watermarks.
