Before you pay
- The reader, Studio and the API are three separate subscriptions: Premium does not include Studio, and a reader subscription includes no API use.
- Studio's pricing page shows only yearly prices ($100 and $300 a year); Speechify's help says Studio also has monthly plans but the page does not show their price, and Memeburn's tester was offered only the $139 yearly Premium plan, not the $29 monthly one.
- Free trials (three days, the terms say, unless sign-up states another length) turn into a paid plan at the current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before they end, and the 7-day refund window counts the trial days.
- Refunds are narrow: monthly, quarterly and discounted plans are non-refundable, and a yearly plan only within 7 days if you used at most 500 HD words (reader) or 2 minutes (Studio); Studio top-ups are final, and Speechify itself refunds nothing bought through Apple or Google, which leaves only the store's own refund process.
- The reader, free or Premium, is licensed for personal, non-commercial use only, and using it to make audio for resale or public distribution can get an account suspended; commercial rights come with paid Studio plans (not Studio's free plan) and the API.
- Premium voice use is capped: at least 150,000 words a month guaranteed, raised to 1,000,000 a month through the end of 2026, after which only the baseline is promised.
- Prices differ in the apps: the US App Store lists Premium at $139.99 and $159.99 and Premium Monthly at $11.99 and $24.99, and TechRadar's tester gives Premium as $175 a year.
- The terms give Speechify a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to material you submit, including for commercial and promotional use, and the privacy policy says staff may view your content to improve its algorithms.
