Narakeet review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Text to speech and narrated videos, paid by the minute
Black Friday: is there a Narakeet sale?
Our verdict
Third of our top three AI voice generators
For: Slide and course narration without a subscription
Narakeet turns typed scripts, documents and PowerPoint decks into voiceovers and narrated videos, with about 900 voices in 100 languages, and turns subtitle files into timed dubbing audio. There is no subscription: $6 buys 30 minutes once, with commercial use, the API and SSML, larger packs fall to $0.05 a minute, and minutes do not expire. It is third because it does a smaller job than the two above: there is no voice cloning on record and no app outside the browser, the free account has 20 conversions with no commercial use, and credits are spent each time a full file is built, downloaded or not.

Best for narrated videos paid by the minute
Narakeet turns text and slides into speech and narrated videos, and you pay by the minute with no subscription, from $6 for 30 minutes. The free account has 20 conversions and no commercial use. Credits are spent each time a full file is built, whether or not you download it.
Who Narakeet is for
- Fits if you narrate now and then and a subscription would sit unused
- Works for turning slide decks into narrated training videos
Who Narakeet is not for
- Not for you if you need commercial use on a free account, because it isn't allowed
- Watch out: credits are charged for each full file you build, downloaded or not
- Skip it if you are an individual hoping for an education discount, as those go to organisations only
- Tight if you need refunds: 14 days, and only for unused credits
Why Narakeet gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$6 buys 30 minutes at $0.20 a minute, down to $0.05 on the 10,000-minute pack. One-time packs, no expiry. Cheap for occasional use, though per minute it costs more than the monthly plans at heavy use.
- CFree plan and trialA free account with 20 conversions, 1 KB audio scripts, no commercial use, no API, no SSML. Previews don't spend credits.
- CFeaturesText to speech, narrated video from PowerPoint or Markdown, SSML and an API once you buy credits. It does the narration job and not much beyond it.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Slides and scripts are a page of setup, but it's a web tool.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with PowerPoint and Markdown as input and an API for builds. No apps.

Keep Narakeet, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Narakeet you would be making a voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $6, paid once.
What you could not
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- A slide editor.
- It plugs into other products, PowerPoint and Markdown among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Narakeet’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
