Instead of Speechify
Speechify alternatives
Speechify turns written material into spoken audio on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and the web, with API access, voice cloning, commercial use and MP3 export. Its free tier offers 10 voices and playback up to 1.5x. Premium is $29 per month, adding 60-plus languages, more than 1,000 voices and speeds up to 5x. That combination suits broad listening needs, but the single export format and monthly price can be limiting for some workflows.

The alternatives differ in emphasis. Some provide speech recognition, multiple audio codecs or developer-focused APIs; others handle documents, run locally, transform voices in real time or detect synthetic media. Before switching, weigh language and voice coverage, input limits, export formats, platform support, commercial rights, cloning, deployment method and ongoing cost. A free plan or trial may matter more than Speechify's larger voice catalog, while local processing or specialized controls may outweigh its broad device access.
