## Shortlist

### 1. HeyGen

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Cost to dub 60 minutes a month: yes — Dubbing is sold out of the same credit balance on every paid plan, at a published rate per minute of source video: 4 credits a minute for audio only without lip sync, 6 for the Speed engine with lip sync and 10 for Precision, so the cheapest plan you may publish from is Creator at $29 a month with 600 credits, which the vendor equates to 100 minutes on the Speed engine.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/10029081-how-to-get-started-with-video-translation)
- [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)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — Brand Glossary holds pronunciation and translation of named terms steady across a whole project with forced translations and protected terms; it is off on Free and starts on Creator.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/10029081-how-to-get-started-with-video-translation)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Support: partial — Email at support@heygen.com plus an in-app chat bubble reach a person, but live chat is withheld from Free and priority support is Enterprise-only; no hours or response times are published.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/8300260-how-to-contact-heygen-support-team)

### 2. Narakeet

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Cost to dub 60 minutes a month: yes — Dubbing an hour of video bills twice: the source file is charged on its original duration when transcribed, and the generated dubbing track on its finished duration, so about 120 minutes of credits, roughly $24 at the entry rate.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Past your allowance: yes — Additional capacity is sold as non-recurring top-up credit; the stated 30-minute pack costs twenty cents per minute.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — The script format provides pronunciation control by spelling out selected phrases or symbols in narration.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/how-to/control-pronunciation.html)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [Video dubbing: partial — Narakeet makes synchronized dubbed tracks from translated subtitle files, but documents choosing a target voice rather than cloning the speaker.](https://www.narakeet.com/create/ai-dubbing.html)
- [How long a video you can dub: partial — Commercial accounts document a 350 MB upload limit and a 60-minute single transcription request, not a per-dub limit.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)

### 3. TopMediai

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — promotion - the headline figures are first-period introductory prices, and each plan card prints the regular rate that follows it in smaller type.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/pricing/)
- [Lip sync: partial — The dubbing pipeline is described as analyzing lip movements to time the new audio against them, which is sync rather than regenerating the mouth itself.](https://www.topmediai.com/ai-dubbing/)
- [AI labelling: yes — The terms commit the vendor to marking generated content as AI-made and forbid users removing the mark, though no file-checking tool is offered.](https://www.topmediai.com/terms-conditions/)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [Commercial use: partial — Commercial rights come with the paid plans only; the vendor's own license agreement grants non-commercial personal use unless a business license has been bought.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/text-to-speech/)
- [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/)
- [How long a video you can dub: partial — Each plan caps dubbing by its credit allowance, stated in minutes of video translation, and the free route is a single one-minute trial.](https://www.topmediai.com/ai-dubbing/)

### 4. Voicemaker

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Voices that use more: yes — Yes - premium models drain the allowance faster: ProPlus Expressive, Expressive V2 and High-Res cost four credits a character, Turbo and ProV2 two.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — A Pronunciation Editor locks how names, brands and technical terms are spoken and keeps that choice consistent across projects.](https://voicemaker.in/)
- [Team seats: partial — Teams and Business subscribers can add one workspace seat for $20 billed yearly.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [Video dubbing: partial — The site advertises AI Dubbing into 130+ languages that keeps tone and can use cloned voices, but its billing meters this only as per-second speech-to-speech redubbing and no video upload or export step is documented.](https://voicemaker.in/)

### 5. Akool

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — yearly shown monthly: the plan cards open on the Yearly tab, where Pro reads $21 with $30 struck through under a "30% OFF" pill; clicking Monthly shows the regular $30, and Starter stays $12 either way.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Lip sync: yes — Lip sync is an option in the translation workflow and the comparison table marks the Lip-Sync row on every plan including Free, so mouth movements can be matched to the new language.](https://www.akool.com/apps/video-translation)
- [Team seats: partial — Workspace collaboration appears from Pro Max upward, and every extra admin or editor is billed at the owner's own plan rate, so a second seat doubles the subscription rather than costing less.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [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)

### 6. Murf AI

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [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.](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — yearly shown monthly: the Studio plan cards open with the Billed Yearly switch already on, so the first figure shown for Creator is nineteen dollars a month billed as two hundred twenty-eight dollars annually, while the regular month-to-month price is twenty-nine dollars.](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)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [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)

### 7. Fish Audio

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — 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.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Voices that use more: yes — 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.](https://docs.fish.audio/overview/mcp)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — 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.](https://docs.fish.audio/overview/platform)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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/)
- [Video dubbing: no — 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.](https://fish.audio/translate-audio/)

### 8. Amazon Polly

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Voices that use more: yes — The newer and higher-quality voices cost far more per character: Neural is four times the Standard rate, Generative seven and a half times, and Long-Form twenty-five times, so voice choice drives the bill.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/pricing/)
- [Past your allowance: yes — There is no plan to exhaust: once the free tier allowance for a voice type is used up, every further character is billed at that voice type's published per-million rate, and requesting timing data is billed again.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/faqs/)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — Custom pronunciation dictionaries fix names, acronyms and foreign words once and are reapplied to every request, with up to 100 stored per account and five applied per text.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/features/)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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/)
- [Several speakers: no — One request speaks in one voice: the markup tag that would switch voices inside a document is listed as unsupported, so dialogue or a two-host show needs separate requests stitched together yourself.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/limits.html)
- [Instant cloning: partial — A custom voice exists only as Brand Voice, a bespoke engagement where the vendor's team records a chosen actor and trains the model; there is no self-serve clone from a short sample you upload.](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/features/)

### 9. Typecast

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

**Where it improves on Speechma:**
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — none: the selector opens on Monthly and the plan cards show the regular monthly rate, with the yearly option advertised as a 10% saving.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Pronunciation fixes: yes — The vendor says you can change how words are spoken along with pitch and rhythm, and a separate text preprocessing library normalizes numbers, dates and phone numbers.](https://typecast.ai/text-to-speech/)
- [Team seats: partial — Adding team members is listed only against the $69 a month Business plan and is dashed out on Free, Basic, Plus and Pro, and the page publishes no price or ceiling for an extra seat.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Speechma:**
- [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/)
- [Instant cloning: partial — Instant Cloning needs five seconds of audio and appears from Basic upward with one slot, so the Free plan gets no cloning at all.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
