How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CIndividual is $190 a year, or $19 monthly, for 20,000 credits a month, about 2 hours of voice generation, with commercial rights and cloning. An hour fits with room to spare, at the going rate for this category. Run out and nothing generates until the reset. | CAn hour of downloads a month needs Pro: $312 billed yearly ($29 monthly) for 75,000 credits, about 90 minutes. Plus, at $204 a year, stops at about 50 minutes. That's near the top of what this category charges, softened by unlimited generation. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free account with 1,000 credits once and limited downloads, no card needed. There's no commercial license and no cloning, so it's for trying voices, not for anything you'll publish. | CGenerating and playing is unlimited, which is handy for picking voices. But downloads come from 3,000 lifetime credits, about 5 minutes, with attribution and no commercial license. Not enough for anything you publish. |
| Features | B1,000+ voices, cloning from a 5 to 15 second sample on any paid plan, translation, an API, and a podcast studio that hosts your show and sends it to Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the voice work itself. | B600+ voices with Smart Emotion, instant cloning from Basic and professional cloning from Plus, a video editor up to 4K, talking avatars, and an API with SDKs in six languages. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the voice work. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's a web studio: write the script, pick a voice, direct the delivery, download. A normal amount to learn, with credits to watch. | CNo store rating on record. Typing a line and picking a voice is easy; getting the emotion, pace and intonation right takes some fiddling, and those controls are spread across plans. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API. The other names on its list, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube Music, are where your episodes go rather than tools it plugs into. No phone or desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, plus an API with SDKs. No desktop app and no integrations listed, so a B is the top. |
| Best for | voiceovers and podcast hosting in one place | expressive voices with emotion controls |

Worth knowing
Listnr
- The free account gets 1,000 credits once, limited downloads and no commercial rights or voice cloning; both start on Individual.
- When the monthly credits run out you cannot generate audio until they reset, unless you buy extra credits or upgrade.
- Listnr says it generally does not refund partial months or used credits.
- Priority support is limited to Agency, and team seats, SSO and invoicing need a custom plan.
Typecast
- The free plan's 3,000 download credits are lifetime, not monthly, and downloads on it need attribution; the commercial license starts on Basic.
- Credits are used only when you download, so each plan's monthly allowance caps how much finished audio you can export.
- You may clone only your own voice or one you have the legal right to use, and cloned voices stay private to your account.
- Extra credits can be bought only on Business, and App Store and Google Play prices can differ from the web prices.
