One-time packs start at $9.90 for 200 credits and do not expire; monthly subscription credits expire each cycle. Live Talk uses ten credits/minute in six-second steps with a 15-second minimum, plus two credits for each web search. Stock-voice TTS costs one credit per 160 characters; cloned-voice speech costs two. Session limits are 20–90 minutes and scripts 2,000–5,000 characters by plan. There is no free plan; terms allow limited promotional credits for some new accounts.
Data access, recording & usage details
- The terms prohibit unconsented voice imitation, deceptive deepfakes and fraud. Cloning requires confirmation that you own the voice or have permission; no additional identity or consent-verification process is documented. Review generated speech before publishing.
- The privacy policy says Live Talk audio is streamed to a third-party provider without storing conversations, captions stay in the browser, and TTS files remain until deleted. The cloning page separately says samples stay private until the voice is deleted. Session/billing retention is described generally, with no independent security or compliance audit established.
