Generating and playing a voice is unlimited on every plan. Here are the five plans we read. | Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | Download credits | Cloning | Cost per minute* | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Free | $0 | n/a | 3,000 for life (about 5 min) | None | $0 | | Basic | $5 | $54 | 30,000/month (about 35 min) | 1 Instant Cloning slot | $0.14 | | Plus | $19 | $204 | 40,000/month (about 50 min) | 1 Professional Cloning slot | $0.38 | | Pro | $29 | $312 | 75,000/month (about 90 min) | 2 slots total | $0.32 | | Business | $69 | $744 | 200,000/month (about 250 min) | 10 slots total | $0.28 | *Monthly price divided by the minutes on the page. Our arithmetic. Yearly billing saves 10%, so Basic is $4.50 a month. All paid plans include a commercial licence. ## Typecast free plan limits The Typecast free plan is a one-time trial, not a monthly allowance. You get 3,000 credits for life, about 5 minutes, and attribution is required on everything you download. Other limits on the page: - Trial voices only for downloads - 3 projects and 1 GB of media storage - Standard quality (16 kHz) audio - HD (720p) video exports with watermarks - A 7-day download history and no avatar generations On Basic and above, attribution is optional. If you publish for a business, plan on a paid plan from day one. ## What you really pay Because credits are spent on download, retakes are what raise your bill. The page says credits are used when you download audio. If each download uses credits for its own length, then every draft you save counts. Here is a sample month, with the assumptions shown. | Your month | Minutes downloaded | Typecast plan | Typecast cost | Kveeky Basic | |---|---|---|---|---| | 8 videos of 4 minutes, 1 download each | 32 | Basic | $5 | $9, or $7.50 billed yearly | | The same, 3 downloads each (retakes) | 96 | Pro | $29 | $9 (100 minutes) | | 2 long videos of 20 minutes, 1 download each | 40 | Plus | $19 | $9 | The result: Typecast Basic is the cheapest in this list for light use. The cost jumps at Plus because Basic stops at about 35 minutes. Kveeky Basic gives 75,000 credits (100 minutes) for $9 a month, so a heavy month does not change the plan. Count your characters first with the [Kveeky character counter](https://kveeky.com/tools/character-counter/), since on Kveeky 1 credit is 1 character and paid plans give about 750 credits a minute.
Try it: a 30-second test script

Copy this script and generate it in two tools. It is 222 characters, so it uses 222 Kveeky credits, about 18 seconds. The Kveeky free plan has 500 credits a month, so it fits once.

Typecast and Kveeky both turn a script into a voiceover. Before you pay, read your script once out loud. Cut any line you stumble on. Then generate one take, listen to it, and only download the version you plan to publish.

Show me: how far 3,000 free credits go

Typecast says 30,000 credits are about 35 minutes. By that ratio, 3,000 credits are about 3.5 minutes. The page itself says about 5 minutes for the free plan, so treat the free plan as roughly a 3 to 5 minute trial.

That is enough to compare voices on one script. It is not enough to publish a weekly show.
