Common Pitfalls
After downloading the app for free, it aggressively promotes a yearly subscription of US$139. The trial requires binding a card and automatically deducts the fee upon expiration. To use only the free version, remember to skip the trial and turn off auto-renewal.

How far the free plan goes
The free version can be used long-term but has clear limitations: only 10 basic (mechanical) voices, a reading speed limit of 1.5 times, and a file storage limit of 5 files; 1000+ natural human voices, 5x speed, OCR scan reading, and offline download are all locked in Premium

Terms Of Use
Registration is required (email or Google/Apple login); sign-up worked without regional restrictions in our test
Best for: People who need to "listen" to a large number of articles, PDFs, papers, and emails every day: commuters, individuals with reading disabilities/visual aids needs, students
US$29 / mo
Monthly subscription: US$29/month; Annual subscription: US$139/year (approximately US$11.58/month, saving around 60%). Unlocks 1000+ natural voices, 60+ languages, 5x speed, scan and read, AI summary, offline download
Which Model
1000+ high-quality natural voices, 60+ languages (including Chinese)
Usage Quota
Unlimited reading, speech speed up to 5x, unlimited file storage
Audio generation/export for commercial use (that is the Studio product line)
Voice cloning
Audiobook library (also has Audiobooks subscription)
What Sets Us Apart
Compared to the free version, the paid version offers 1000+ natural human voices instead of 10 mechanical voices, speech speed increased from 1.5x to 5x, and the file limit increased from 5 to unlimited. Paying annually at US$139 is approximately 60% cheaper than paying monthly at US$29, so it's best to choose annual payment if you plan to use it for an extended period.
Best for: Occasional lightweight creators who need to do video dubbing or Podcast narration
US$19 / mo
Voiceover generation product line (non-reading app): 7,200 credits per month ≈ 2 hours of voiceover, including commercial use (credit number verified through costbench, not directly shown on official landing page)

7,200 credits per month ≈ 2 hours of voiceover (1 credit/second; voiceover translation 3 credits/second)
This plan includes
Commercial license
Audio file export
Multilingual voiceover
Not Included
Mass production (8 hours or more, please use Creator)
Enterprise features and customization (Enterprise to be discussed separately)
What Sets Us Apart
In comparison to Studio Free (600 credits, no commercial use), for US$19/month, the quota is increased 12 times and commercial use is allowed. Note that this is independent of the Premium reading subscription and they do not share the same quota.
Best for: Content creators who produce a fixed amount of video/voice content, small studios
US$49 / mo
Monthly 28,800 credits ≈ 8 hours of voiceover (1 credit/second for voiceover, 3 credits/second for voiceover translation) (credits quantity cross-checked)

28,800 credits per month ≈ 8 hours of voiceover
This plan includes
All Starter features
4 times the monthly quota of Starter
Commercial license
Not Included
Unlimited usage (overage requires additional purchase or upgrade to Enterprise)
What Sets Us Apart
In comparison to the Starter plan, the US$49/month plan offers 4 times the quota at a lower unit price, making it more cost-effective for monthly voiceover demands exceeding 2 hours.
Note the two product lines: ① Speechify Premium, a consumer-oriented reading app that reads files aloud; ② Speechify Studio/API (Starter/Creator), a creator tool for video dubbing, voice cloning, and AI voice-over translation, with a free Studio plan that includes 600 credits but no commercial use rights. Additionally, there is an Audiobooks subscription (US$14.99/month, approximately US$9.99/month with annual payment). Chinese is one of the 60+ languages supported by Premium, but the most natural human-like voice is in English, with fewer voice options for Chinese.
