We earn commission on every tool we feature. What that never buys is a position. We test first and rank second, and a tool that pays well can still finish last. How that works.

What it is

Speech synthesis. You give it text, it gives you audio that mostly does not sound like a robot reading a shopping list. It also does voice cloning, dubbing into other languages, and has an API that people actually build products on.

Who buys it

Anyone producing narration at volume: course creators, publishers turning articles into audio, video teams who need a consistent voice across hundreds of clips, and developers embedding speech into their own software.

  • Free, 0 dollars, 10k credits a month
  • Starter, 6 dollars a month, 30k credits
  • Creator, 22 dollars a month, 121k credits, adds professional voice cloning
  • Pro, 99 dollars a month, 600k credits
  • Scale, 299 dollars a month, 1.8M credits
  • Business, 990 dollars a month, 6M credits

The thing to watch is the jump from Creator to Pro. Everything is priced in credits rather than minutes, so your real cost depends on how much you regenerate, and people regenerate a lot while they are still learning the controls.

What we will test

The full nine-task protocol for this category is published on the AI voice tools page. Three of those tasks are blind listening sets, including a deliberately difficult script full of names, numbers and abbreviations, which is where most engines come apart. We also regenerate the same line three times and score the worst result, not the best.
