Enterprise-oriented AI text to speech studio built on licensed recordings of real voice actors. Free tier with 3 download minutes per month; Starter plan at $10/month billed annually.

Profile

WellSaid is a text-to-speech voiceover platform focused on natural-sounding English AI voices for video, e-learning, product demos and marketing content, built by WellSaid Labs. It runs on a freemium model with a genuine no-credit-card trial, individual Starter and Pro plans priced per year of included download minutes, team-based Business plans, and a custom Enterprise tier that adds non-English languages, translation and API access.

Who builds it

WellSaid is built by WellSaid Labs, a US company focused specifically on studio-quality synthetic voiceover rather than general-purpose reading or chat. Users type or paste a script, select from a curated library of AI voices, adjust tone, pitch and emotional expression, and export narrated audio with optional caption files.

Core features

  • Curated library of AI voices with fine-grained tone, pitch and emotional-expression controls, not just flat text-to-speech
  • Pronunciation customization with smart suggestions and Oxford Dictionary integration for accurate name/jargon handling
  • Caption file export (SRT/VTT) alongside audio, useful for video workflows
  • Sample rates scaling by plan — 24 kHz on Starter, up to 48 kHz on Pro/Business, up to 96 kHz on Enterprise
  • Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Express integrations for Business and Enterprise customers
  • Enterprise-only access to non-English voices (Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Polish, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and more) plus translation and API access

Pricing

  • Trial: free, no credit card required — 3 download minutes/month, 10 minutes of generation, 3 projects, curated voices, no commercial rights
  • Starter: $10/month billed annually ($120/year) or $19/month billed monthly — 240 minutes/year (or 20 minutes/month), all English voices, full commercial rights, MP3 export
  • Pro: $33/month billed annually ($396/year) or $49/month billed monthly — 2,160 minutes/year (or 180 minutes/month), unlimited projects, MP3/WAV/OGG/TXT export, up to 48 kHz
  • Business: $160/month per user billed annually ($1,920/year) — up to 5 seats, 2,880 minutes/year/user, team workspace, Adobe integrations
  • Enterprise: custom pricing — custom download minutes, unlimited seats, non-English languages and translation, SSO, up to 96 kHz, dedicated Customer Success Manager
  • Unused minutes don't roll over; overage minutes can be purchased as add-ons — check wellsaid.io/pricing for current rates

Who it's for

Individual creators and freelancers making occasional English-language voiceovers fit the Starter plan, while regular content producers needing more minutes, higher fidelity and every export format should use Pro. Small teams collaborating on voiceover production should use Business, and organizations needing non-English voices, translation, API access or strict security/compliance controls need the Enterprise tier.

Frequently asked questions

What does WellSaid cost?

WellSaid runs from a free, no-credit-card trial up to Starter at $10/month (billed annually) or $19/month (billed monthly), Pro at $33/month (annual) or $49/month (monthly), Business at $160/month per user (billed annually, up to 5 seats), and a custom-priced Enterprise tier. Pricing is based on included download minutes per year (or month), with unused minutes not rolling over. Check wellsaid.io/pricing directly, since rates and included minutes can change.

Is WellSaid free?

There's a free trial rather than a permanent free plan: no credit card is required, and it includes 3 download minutes/month, 10 minutes of generation, 3 projects and access to curated voices. The trial explicitly excludes commercial rights, so any voiceover you actually want to publish or monetize requires upgrading to at least the Starter plan.

What languages and voices does WellSaid support?

WellSaid's Individual and Business plans offer all-English voices, including accent styles like British, South African and Australian delivery. Non-English languages — including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Polish, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean, among others — plus translation are available exclusively on the custom-priced Enterprise tier.

Can I use WellSaid's voiceovers commercially?

Yes, on every paid plan — Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise all include full commercial rights to generated audio. The free trial is the one exception: it explicitly does not include commercial rights, so trial-generated audio should not be used in published or monetized work.

Does WellSaid have an API?

A trial API key is available after creating an account, but full API access with custom terms is positioned as an Enterprise feature rather than something included on Starter, Pro or Business. WellSaid also offers Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Express integrations on Business and Enterprise plans as an alternative to direct API integration for video workflows.

WellSaid vs Speechify — what's the difference?

WellSaid is purpose-built for studio-quality narrated voiceovers — video, e-learning, marketing content — with fine-grained tone and emotional-expression controls, priced per year of download minutes starting at $10/month. Speechify is primarily a reading/listening app for turning existing text and documents into audio at high playback speeds, with a separate Studio product for voiceover creation, priced at a flat $29/month for its full voice library. Producers who need precise control over a scripted voiceover's delivery tend to prefer WellSaid; people who mainly want to listen to text they already have tend to prefer Speechify.
