How we grade them
| 2.0GPARespeecherFair | 2.0GPAWellSaidFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPay-as-you-go packs are $5 per 20,000 characters, commercial use included, and Respeecher puts 60,000 characters at about an hour, so an hour is $15. Subscriptions run from $18 for 30,000 characters to Creator at $74 a month billed yearly. The real-time API is $2 per 60,000 characters. | DAn hour a month needs Pro: $33 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly) for 2,160 download minutes a year. Starter at $10 gives 240 minutes a year, which falls short. Generation is unlimited and only downloads count, but $33 is among the dearest in this category. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. There's a free trial of text to speech and speech-to-speech in the Marketplace, but the listing doesn't say how much it covers or whether it wants a card. The real-time API is free to start. | CThe Trial plan is free with no card: 3 download minutes a month, 10 minutes of generation and 3 projects. The audio can't be used commercially, so it's for hearing the voices, not for a video you'll publish. |
| Features | CSpeech-to-speech, licensed celebrity voices, a Pro Tools plugin and a real-time API, which few here offer. But custom voices and real-time conversion are Enterprise-only, subscriptions get 25+ voices, and Creator allows 100 requests a day. | C280+ actor voices, tone and pitch controls, pronunciation help, caption files with every clip, a team workspace and an API. The gaps: self-serve plans are English only, translation is Enterprise, and you can't clone a voice, not even your own. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. The Marketplace is a web app with a Pro Tools plugin, and speech-to-speech means recording your own takes. Custom voice work runs through Respeecher's team, not a sign-up. | CNo store rating on record. It's a web studio where the work is the voiceover itself: script, voice, pronunciation fixes, clip by clip. A normal amount to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API and one plugin, for Pro Tools. That's the right plugin for sound studios, but it's the whole list, and there's no phone or desktop app. | BWeb only, with an API and add-ons for Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Express. It's a short list, and there's no desktop or phone app, so a B is the ceiling. |
| Best for | recreating a particular voice for film and games | English voiceovers from licensed actor voices |
