Typecast
Typecast provides text-to-speech with emotion controls, large voice libraries (700+ voices), multilingual support, voice cloning slots, a mobile app, and a documented API with SDK examples and tiered monthly credit plans for scaling usage.
The API page lists four documented tiers: Free ($0/month), Lite ($15/month), Plus ($280/month), and Enterprise (custom). Each paid plan includes a monthly credit allowance, concurrency limits, and described overage billing increments.Is Typecast right for you?
