Fish Audio pricing
Fish Audio's cheapest paid plan is Plus at $15 a month billed monthly, or $11 a month billed yearly. The free plan: 8,000 credits a month (up to 7 minutes of speech), 500 characters per generation and 3 public voice slots, for personal, non-commercial use only and with credit to Fish Audio; developers can also call the S2.1 Pro model through the API free, under fair use, through November 30, 2026. On Plus, that works out to $0.075 per minute of generated speech if you use the whole allowance.

Before you pay
- The pricing page contradicts itself on what the credits buy: its FAQ says a minute of generation costs roughly 600 to 625 credits, which would make Plus's 250,000 credits 400 minutes or more, but the plan cards say up to 200 minutes on Plus and 1,620 on Pro (about 1,250 credits a minute) and only 6,250 on Max, although Max's 25,000,000 credits are 12.5 times Pro's (4,000 credits a minute), and the page's own data gives the free plan 1 hour against 7 minutes on its card. The help center says speech credits are charged per byte of text and that costs vary by model and may change. This record counts the minutes on the plan cards, the lowest of the page's figures, so Max may buy more speech than it lists.
- Refunds conflict: the Pro card promises a 7-day money-back guarantee, but the terms say fees already paid are not refunded except as the agreement expressly provides, and the help center calls all purchases non-refundable, accidental ones included, adding that a processing fee of about 15% may apply when support reviews a case.
- The free plan is for personal, non-commercial use only, and anything published from it must credit 'Fish Audio' or 'fish.audio' in the title or description; audio made during a paid subscription stays usable commercially, but audio made before or after one never is.
- Plan credits refill monthly on your billing date and do not roll over, unused credits lapse when a cancelled or downgraded plan ends, and plans renew automatically at the then-current non-promotional price with no prorated refund; API credits are sold separately from plan credits.
- A Drama 3 launch offer runs until November 12, 2026: 50% off a new Plus, Pro or Max plan's first month (monthly) or first year (yearly), such as Plus at $66 for its first year, and Drama 3's API at $10 per million characters instead of its $50 list price. This record lists the regular prices, which apply at renewal. The API pricing page does not list Drama 3 yet and prices the other models per UTF-8 byte, not per character.
- Anyone can add a voice clone from a 10-second clip: Zapier's tester found fans had uploaded TV and video game characters without the actors' consent, and TechTimes reported in July 2026 that UK voice actors and their union Equity had complained about unauthorised clones, and that Fish Audio's CEO had told TechCrunch removal is now automated once a creator proves ownership; the published model weights can still clone voices where no takedown reaches.
- The terms (effective August 18, 2024) let Fish Audio use your content and usage data to train its AI models; the help center says API customers' data is not used for training by default, but requests to the free S2.1 Pro API may be used to improve the model, and zero data retention is an Enterprise feature.
