Direct API

S2.1 Pro + PAYG APIUsage-based from $15

Developers can use the S2.1 Pro free TTS API with s2.1-pro-free under fair-use access through November 30, 2026, or pay as they go for TTS, ASR, Voice Design, REST, WebSocket, Python, and JavaScript APIs; TTS starts at $15 per 1M UTF-8 bytes.

Savings and costs per 1,000 credits are ToolColumn arithmetic from the prices and allowances above.

How each route bills

  • Creator subscription · App subscription · Primary · From $11/mo

    Use the web app for no-code TTS, cloning, voice design, projects, monthly credits, and paid commercial-use access.

    Fish Audio app subscription · Recommended · Bundled app · Included in subscription

    Use the browser app for no-code generation, cloning, voice design, projects, monthly credits, and paid commercial-use status.

    Best for: Creators and small teams producing recurring narration and cloned voices.

    Boundary: Free is personal testing; paid plans unlock commercial-use rights subject to voice ownership and Terms.

  • S2.1 Pro + PAYG API · Direct API · Usage-based from $15

    Developers can use the S2.1 Pro free TTS API with s2.1-pro-free under fair-use access through November 30, 2026, or pay as they go for TTS, ASR, Voice Design, REST, WebSocket, Python, and JavaScript APIs; TTS starts at $15 per 1M UTF-8 bytes.

    Fish Audio direct API · Direct API · Separate API meter

    Use REST, WebSocket, Python, and JavaScript access across TTS, ASR, Voice Design, streaming, and voice management.

    Best for: Developers building voice agents, narration systems, dubbing flows, or app-level speech features.

    Boundary: Budget by UTF-8 bytes, audio hours, successful requests, and concurrency tiers.

  • Team workspace · Team workspace · From $75/mo

    Use Pro or Max when seats, credit pools, character limits, and professional voice slots matter.

    Fish Audio team workspace · Team workspace · Shared subscription quota

    Use higher self-serve plans when seats, credit pools, character limits, and professional voice slots matter.

    Best for: Teams sharing voice production and reusable voices.

    Boundary: Check seat count, credit ownership, voice-slot ownership, and reset rules.

  • Enterprise and self-hosting · Enterprise sales · Custom

    Use sales-led access for custom limits, org controls, zero data retention, on-premise deployment, SOC2, or self-hosting.

    Fish Audio enterprise and self-hosting · Enterprise sales · Enterprise only

    Use sales-led access for custom limits, org controls, zero retention, on-premise deployment, SOC2, or self-hosting.

    Best for: Organizations with compliance, procurement, or deployment-control requirements.

    Boundary: Verify pricing, support, data handling, and deployment scope with sales.

API boundary: Model API billing separately from subscription credits: byte volume, audio duration, Voice Design requests, and concurrency tiers matter.

Notes

Pricing notes

Fish Audio's credits do not turn into minutes at one rate. By Fish Audio's own "up to" figures, a minute of speech takes about 1,250 credits on Plus and Pro but 4,000 on Max, so the plan with the lowest price per credit is not the cheapest per minute. Budget app plans by their minute figures and the API by bytes of text.

Pro is the cheapest app plan per minute; Max costs more than twice as much

In ToolColumn's arithmetic from the "up to" minutes each plan lists:

Plan

Up to, per month

Per minute, billed monthly

Per minute, billed annually

Plus

200 min

$15 ÷ 200 = $0.075

$11 ÷ 200 = $0.055

Pro

1,620 min

$100 ÷ 1,620 = $0.062

$75 ÷ 1,620 = $0.046

Max

6,250 min

$999 ÷ 6,250 = $0.160

$749 ÷ 6,250 = $0.120

Max's case is team size, with 10 seats against Pro's 3 and 15 professional voice slots against 5, not cheaper speech. Pro is the step up from Plus once a month needs more than 200 minutes, team seats (Pro includes 3), or generations longer than Plus's 15,000 characters (Pro allows 30,000). Credits reset each month and unused minutes do not roll over, so size the plan to a normal month rather than a peak.

The API bills per byte, which favors English text

The API is a separate bill from app credits. Text to speech costs $15 per million UTF-8 bytes, which Fish Audio equates to about 12 hours of speech, roughly $0.015 per 1,000 English characters; speech recognition costs $0.36 an hour. At those figures an hour of API speech costs about $1.25, about 2 cents a minute, below every app plan's per-minute price, so a developer who needs audio output without the browser studio pays less on the API. A Chinese, Japanese or Korean character takes three bytes in UTF-8, so the same per-byte rate costs about three times as much per character as English.

Watchouts

What buyers often miss

  1. Commercial rights are not automatic on free use

    official terms describe free use as personal and non-commercial.

  2. Credits are not API units

    Subscription credits and minutes sit beside text bytes, audio hours, successful requests, and concurrency.

  3. Enterprise claims need sales verification

    Zero retention, on-premise, SOC2, self-hosting, support, and custom limits need confirmation.

About Fish Audio

Fish Audio is a voice AI platform for creators and developers who want expressive text-to-speech, fast voice cloning, a large community voice library and speech recognition at a low price. Its S2.1 Pro and S2 Pro models (S1 retires on December 31, 2026) are available in a browser app and through REST, WebSocket, Python and JavaScript APIs. The API charges $15 per million UTF-8 bytes of text, which Fish Audio equates to about 12 hours of speech and roughly $0.015 per 1,000 English characters, while speech recognition costs $0.36 an hour. App plans start with a free tier of 8,000 credits for non-commercial use; Plus costs $15 a month, or $11 a month billed annually, for about 200 minutes, Pro costs $100 or $75 annually, and Max $999 or $749. It is best for creators and small teams testing cloned or character voices and developers optimizing English TTS cost. The caveats are that free output is non-commercial, cloning needs the speaker's consent, and byte-based pricing makes Chinese, Japanese and Korean text costlier per character.

  • Creator voice cloning and narration from short authorized samples
  • Affordable TTS experiments with a route into API usage
