Pricing Summary
Speechify is a reading app that added a TTS API as an afterthought — not a voice platform built for developers. Their API pricing is 50-60% higher than Fish Audio, with fewer voices, no instant voice cloning, and no emotion control. If you're building a product that needs voice, Speechify's consumer-first DNA means you'll always be a second-class citizen compared to their app users.
