Free plan: Consumer Free plan: 10 robotic voices, 1.5x speed; API Free plan has a monthly USD balance (amount not shown); no commercial rights shown..
What Speechify costs
- 60 min voiceover: $19/mo (Studio Starter $19/user/mo monthly (CostBench) is the lowest tier with commercial rights (Techpresso). Its 60-minute allowance and download terms are not verified, so the price may be understated.)
- Entry plan: $19/mo (Studio Starter $19/user/mo monthly (CostBench). Premium $29/mo shows no download or commercial terms (a review calls its license personal-use only). API Starter ($10/mo) or API Free ($0) would be cheaper only if API output is licensed commercially; those terms were not found.)
- 1M API chars: no public price (Not computed: speechify.ai/pricing gives monthly plan fees ($10, $99, $499) but no per-character rate and no balance amounts. 'About 78M characters a month on Scale' is a capacity note, not a rate.)
Plan compared: Studio Starter, one user, monthly billing (third-party price). Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans are the annual price divided by 12): the cost of 60 minutes of commercially licensed voiceover a month, the cheapest plan that lets you download and use AI speech commercially, and the cost of 1 million characters a month through the API. A dash means the product does not do that job.
