Savings and costs per 1,000 credits are ToolColumn arithmetic from the prices and allowances above.
Annual billing lowers the monthly-equivalent price on the creator subscription ladder, but buyers should only commit annually after confirming monthly download-credit needs and commercial-use rights.
Creator web subscription · App subscription · Primary · From $4.50/mo
Self-serve web plans for creator voice generation, downloads, video narration, avatars, and commercial-use upgrades. Basic costs $5 billed monthly or $54 billed yearly ($4.50/month equivalent).
Free evaluation · Bundled app · Included in subscription
Use Free to test the voice library, editor workflow, and output quality before committing to a paid plan.
Best for: Script and voice fit testing.
Boundary: Free access is not the safest production path because attribution and commercial-use boundaries apply.
Creator web subscription · Recommended · Bundled app · Included in subscription
Use the self-serve creator subscription for script-to-voice generation, downloads, video narration, avatars, and recurring creator production.
Best for: Creators, educators, marketers, and podcast or video teams.
Boundary: Choose the tier by download credits, video/avatar needs, custom voice slots, and commercial-use requirements.
Mobile app subscription · App subscription · Bundled access
iOS and Android access for creating AI voice content from the Typecast mobile app, with billing managed through the app-store path.
Typecast API · Direct API · From $15/mo
Developer plans for programmatic text-to-speech, voice cloning, streaming speech, timestamps, SDK use, monthly API credits, concurrency, and overage blocks.
Typecast API · Direct API · Separate API meter
Use API plans for programmatic text-to-speech, streaming, timestamps, SDK use, credits, concurrency, and developer integration.
Best for: Product teams and developers integrating Typecast into apps or automated workflows.
Boundary: API credits and overage blocks are separate from creator subscription download limits.
Business and enterprise · Enterprise sales · Custom
Business and custom enterprise paths for higher production needs, custom voice requirements, support expectations, procurement, and legal review.
Business or enterprise · Enterprise sales · Enterprise only
Use the business or enterprise path when higher limits, custom voices, support, procurement, or legal review are part of the purchase.
Best for: Agencies, schools, companies, and teams with governance requirements.
Boundary: Confirm contract terms, voice rights, account ownership, support, and usage policy before production rollout.
API boundary: Typecast API plans use a separate monthly credit and concurrency model from creator subscriptions. Treat API Lite, API Plus, overage blocks, and Enterprise as a distinct technical budget.

Notes
Typecast charges only when you download: generating and playing back audio is unlimited on every plan, so auditioning emotions and redoing lines cost nothing until export. Two credit pools sit behind the plans, and they are not the same unit. Studio plans spend download credits at roughly 800 to 860 per finished minute, going by Typecast's own minute estimates for each plan, while API plans spend one credit per character. The cost-per-unit table therefore mixes Studio and API rows in different units: compare Studio plans by finished minutes and API plans by characters.
Plan | About minutes a month (Typecast's estimate) | Per finished minute, monthly billing | Per finished minute, billed annually |
|---|---|---|---|
Basic | 35 | $0.14 | $0.13 |
Plus | 50 | $0.38 | $0.34 |
Pro | 90 | $0.32 | $0.29 |
Business | 250 | $0.28 | $0.25 |
The dollar columns are our arithmetic on Typecast's prices and minute estimates. Past Basic you pay for features rather than cheaper audio: Plus adds one professional voice-cloning slot, and Pro adds up to 15 avatar generations and two cloning slots in total. If you outgrow Basic's 35 minutes, Pro costs $10 a month more than Plus for 40 more minutes and is cheaper per minute, so Plus fits only when 50 minutes are enough.
API credits count one per character. Lite includes 200,000 a month for $15 and sells overage in $9 blocks of 100,000, $90 per million; Plus includes 4 million for $280, with overage at $100 per 1.25 million, $80 per million. On our arithmetic, Lite plus overage reaches Plus's $280 at about 3.1 million characters a month, so below that Lite stays cheaper even with overage. Plus also raises the concurrency limit from 5 to 15 requests, which can decide the upgrade sooner for an app with many simultaneous users.
Watchouts
Finished-output minutes, avatar generations, and custom voice slots are the practical limits to check before paying, not just whether voice generation is available.
Free and paid plan rights differ, so review current usage policy, attribution guidance, and terms before client, paid, branded, or monetized work.
API Lite and Plus use credits, concurrency limits, and additional credit blocks, which should be modeled separately from creator subscriptions.
If the subscription starts in a mobile app, confirm app-store billing and cancellation mechanics rather than relying only on the web pricing page.
Recent updates
Typecast’s Android app update introduces character-based credits, with each character, space and symbol using one credit, and a Plus plan with voice speed controls and 40,000 monthly credits.

No. Typecast API pricing is a separate direct-api route with its own monthly credits, concurrency limits, and overage blocks.
Typecast is best for character-led AI voiceovers, education clips, narrative scripts, short-form video narration, and creator workflows that need repeatable voices without studio recording.
Typecast presents commercial-use benefits on paid plans, while free output has attribution and commercial-use limits. Buyers should review the current pricing page, usage policy, attribution guideline, and terms before using output in monetized or client work.
Yes. Typecast documents a separate developer API with text-to-speech, streaming speech, timestamps, SDKs, model selection, monthly API credits, concurrency limits, and enterprise options.
Typecast is primarily an AI voice and narration product, but it also supports lightweight video narration, talking-avatar style media, and app-based creator workflows.
