## Shortlist

### 1. Murf AI

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

**Where it improves on Respeecher:**
- [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](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [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)
- [Languages: yes — Studio documents voices in 40+ languages with accents for English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Dutch.](https://help.murf.ai/languages-and-accents)

**Trade-offs against Respeecher:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — When Studio time runs out there is no published top-up rate: you upgrade the plan or ask support to repurchase it.](https://help.murf.ai/how-to-add-more-vgtvoice-generation-time)
- [Consent of the voice’s owner: partial — Enterprise cloning rules require ownership or clear documented consent for the voice submitted to Murf.](https://help.murf.ai/are-there-any-specifications-for-recording-the-voice-data)

### 2. Narakeet

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

**Where it improves on Respeecher:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — $24 a month on 30 minutes for 2 hours of 60 minutes (120 minutes of finished audio). Billed by the second. 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](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — $120 a month on 30 minutes for 10 hours of 60 minutes (600 minutes of finished audio). Billed by the second. 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](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Unused credits: yes — Purchased capacity remains available for future use rather than expiring at a monthly billing boundary.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Respeecher:**

### 3. Fish Audio

Expressive text-to-speech, voice cloning and long-form studio with a credit-metered API.

**Where it improves on Respeecher:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — 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.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — 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.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Languages: yes — 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.](https://fish.audio/)

**Trade-offs against Respeecher:**
- [Unused credits: no — 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.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Commercial use: partial — 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.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Your voice trains their models: yes — 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.](https://fish.audio/terms/)

### 4. HeyGen

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

**Where it improves on Respeecher:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — The cheapest plan that permits commercial publishing, Creator at $29 a month, includes up to ten hours of text to speech, so two finished hours sit well inside the allowance.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — Ten hours a month is sold and lands exactly at the Creator ceiling of ten hours; Pro at $49 raises it to sixteen hours or more of text to speech.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Respeecher:**
- [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)
- [Past your allowance: partial — Only the team plan can buy extra credits: Business tops up in blocks of 100 credits for $5, which is 5 cents a credit, with optional auto-reload, while Creator and Pro cannot buy packs at all and must move up a plan or a credit tier when the month's allowance is gone.](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)

- [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)
- [Consent of the voice’s owner: partial — Akool requires that you be authorized to use any voice or likeness you upload and bans harmful impersonation, but documents no verification step or consent proof before a clone is trained.](https://help.akool.com/trust-and-safety)
