Pricing

Plans as listed on each vendor's site when we last checked. Confirm before you buy.

Attribute	OpusClip	Speechify
Plans	Free Free Trying it on a few videos.	Free Free Basic read-aloud with robotic voices.
	Starter $15/mo Solo creators posting a few shorts a week.	PremiumOur pick $29/mo, or $139/yr Anyone who listens to documents most days.
	ProOur pick $29/mo Anyone posting daily or running a team.	Studio Starter $100/yr Occasional voiceovers for videos.
	Business Custom Agencies and media companies at volume.	Studio Creator $300/yr Regular voiceover and dubbing work.
Which plan to pick	Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams.	Premium is the plan for reading, and yearly is far cheaper than monthly. Set a reminder before the trial ends, and check whether the trial is set to bill monthly or yearly. Studio is a separate subscription; only buy it if you make voiceovers.
