Pick this tier: Pro

Pro adds a commercial license, instant voice cloning and unlimited workspace seats for very little.

What works

  • Low-cost plans with commercial use from Pro
  • Fast text-to-speech and speech-to-text
  • Voice agents on the same platform
  • Twenty percent off with annual billing

What to watch

  • Smaller voice library than the market leader
  • Voice-agent minutes are billed separately
  • Concurrency is limited on lower plans

Skip it if

  • You need the widest voice and language library
  • You need very high concurrency on a small plan
  • You only need occasional text-to-speech the free plan covers
