Is it really free? Do I need a credit card to start?

Question 4

Can I download the audio and use it in my projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paid plans (Basic and Plus) include a commercial license, so you can use the audio in videos, podcasts, ads, courses, or any project — personal or commercial. The Free Plan does not include commercial use rights. Supported formats are MP3, WAV, and OGG (MP3 only on the Free Plan)..

Question 5

How does the free trial work for paid plans?

Accepted Answer

Both the Basic ($12/month) and Plus ($19/month) plans come with a 3-day free trial. You'll need to enter a payment method, but you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. We'll send you a reminder before it expires so you're never surprised.

Question 6

What's the difference between the Basic and Plus plans?

Accepted Answer

The main differences are volume and language depth. Basic gives you 1,000,000 characters/month — plenty for most creators. Plus gives you 3,000,000 characters/month plus full access to all 9 languages including English (American), English (British) and 50,000 bonus characters/day when your monthly allowance runs out. Both include all voices, all formats, and commercial rights.

Question 7

Does the text highlighting work in all languages?

Accepted Answer

Word-level text highlighting — where the words light up as they're read — is currently available in English only (US and UK). We're actively working to bring it to all supported languages. Audio generation itself works normally in all 9 languages.

Question 8

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime directly from your account — no emails, no forms, no friction. Just go to your subscription settings and cancel in one click. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
