What an hour of speech costsYes

Cost for 2 hours a month

Two hours of downloadable narration needs the Business plan at $69 a month, because the cheapest commercial plan with enough credits below it, Pro, covers only about 90 minutes.

200,000 credits/mo (~250 mins)

What an hour of speech costsPartly

Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use)

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.

What the price counts

Everything is metered in download credits, spent only when you export audio: 3,000 lifetime on Free, then 30,000, 40,000, 75,000 and 200,000 a month.

Credits are used when you download audio.

Past your allowance

On the API plans extra use carries a published rate and is billed automatically in fixed blocks, but on the web Studio plans only Business may buy additional credits at all and the page prints no price for them.

Additional usage is automatically billed in increments of $9 (100k credits) for Lite and $100 (1.25M credits) for Plus.

Commercial use

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.

Cloning a voicePartly

Instant cloning

Instant Cloning needs five seconds of audio and appears from Basic upward with one slot, so the Free plan gets no cloning at all.

Cloning a voiceYes

Consent of the voice’s owner

Uploading a sample requires you to confirm the voice is yours or licensed, and the clone stays private rather than being published in the library.

You can only clone your own voice or a voice you have the legal right to use.

API price

The API plans publish a per-credit rate with one credit equal to one character: $0.075 per 1k credits inside the $15 Lite plan, $0.07 per 1k inside the $280 Plus plan, so a million characters of speech is priced in public rather than quoted.
