| Resemble AI | No longer sells voice AI. Resemble announced on 13 August 2026 that it is "not selling voice AI to new customers" and moved the whole company to deepfake detection, watermarking and identity matching.

Cartesia
Real-time voice AI built on state space models: Sonic text-to-speech, Ink transcription and managed voice agents, all billed from one credit pool. The cheapest per-minute TTS listed here at about $0.038 on the $5 Pro plan.
PlayHT
Discontinued. Meta acquired the PlayAI team in July 2025, the Voice API and TTS service were deprecated within weeks, and the play.ht domain no longer resolves. Kept as a correction because older guides still recommend it.
Resemble AI
No longer sells voice AI to new customers. Resemble moved the company to deepfake detection and watermarking in August 2026; its pricing page carries no text-to-speech rate. The voice models remain free and self-hostable under the MIT licence as Chatterbox.
Murf AI
Browser voiceover studio billed in Voice Generation Time, plus a separately priced API (Falcon 2, Gen 2) and Murf Dub video localisation in 40+ languages.
Speechify
Three products on three unrelated meters. The reading app most buyers find first costs $29/month and produces nothing publishable; Speechify Studio ($100/year) does the commercial work on credits that burn 30x faster for avatars than voiceover; the developer API is the cheapest published TTS rate on this site.
