Narakeet pricing explained
Narakeet sells time, not a subscription. You buy a pack of minutes once and spend it as you create audio or video. The pricing page lists five packs: 30, 300, 1000, 2500 and 10000 minutes. We could read the price only for the 30-minute pack: $6, or about $0.20 a minute.
Three rules from the page matter when you budget:
- Credits do not expire. A pack you do not finish stays on your account.
- Billing follows the final output. Text to speech is billed on the length of the finished audio or video, in 1-second steps.
- Bigger packs cost less per minute. Narakeet's FAQ gives a range of $0.20 to $0.05 a minute. The price of each larger pack was not shown on the page we checked, so we do not guess it.
Free account limits
A free Narakeet account is for testing, and it cannot be used commercially. Here is how the two account types compare on the page we checked.
| Feature | Free account | Commercial account |
|---|---|---|
| Conversions | 20 | Depends on the pack |
| Audio script length | 1 KB | 1024 KB |
| Commercial use | No | Yes |
| Automation API | No | Yes |
Free previews are not available on free accounts, so you pay before you hear a full draft.
What you really pay
For most creators, pay as you go is cheaper than it looks, because you only pay for finished output. Here are two sample months, using the $6 pack for 30 minutes. This is our arithmetic from the page prices.
| Your month | Narakeet | Kveeky Basic |
|---|---|---|
| 10 finished minutes | $6 once (one 30-minute pack lasts 3 such months) | $9/month, or $7.50/month billed yearly |
| 60 finished minutes | $12 (two 30-minute packs at $0.20 a minute) | $9/month for up to 100 minutes |
Once you publish every month, a plan with a fixed allowance usually costs less. To see where you land, count your characters first with the Kveeky character counter, since on Kveeky 1 credit is 1 character and paid plans give about 750 credits a minute.
Copy this script and run it through two tools. It is 313 characters, so it uses 313 Kveeky credits, about 25 seconds at 750 credits a minute. On the free plan (500 credits a month) it fits once.

1. Kveeky: simplest start
Kveeky gives a free plan with 500 credits a month and standard voices. Sign-up is required, but no credit card is. Paid plans open the full voice library, and cloning is offered.

- Cons: the free plan is only about 40 seconds.
2. Voicemaker: lowest listed price
Voicemaker Starter is $5 a month for 200,000 credits (about 4 hours), with personal and commercial use. The free plan caps each conversion at 250 characters. That is about $0.02 a minute by our arithmetic. See the Voicemaker alternatives guide.

Where Narakeet wins
Narakeet is the better pick for occasional use or video from a script:
- No monthly bill. You pay when you need audio, and credits never expire.
- Video from a script. It creates video as well as audio, with a 2048 KB video script limit on commercial accounts.
Tick each one. If you tick 3 or 4, a fixed monthly plan will likely cost you less.
Conclusion
Narakeet pricing suits light and irregular use: $6 for 30 minutes that never expire, with lower rates on larger packs. If you publish every month, compare it with Kveeky, Voicemaker or Typecast first. Test one 30-second script in two tools before you buy anything. For free-plan limits across tools, read free vs paid text to speech. To size your minutes, see how many words is a 5 minute speech.
