Before you buy
Best for: Creators directing narration who need explicit emotion, pause and sound-tag control.

Included: Metered synchronous and long-form synthesis; cloning and voice design have separate charges.
Main limits: Characters are not tokens or minutes. Test pronunciation, timing and usage rights for the exact voice; the demo does not measure listener preference.
What Kingy showed: Curtis’s audio walkthrough compares default, surprised and happy delivery, pause timing, laugh/throat tags and a combined expressive example.

Which plan is worth considering
US/USD native API: HD US$100 / Turbo US$60 per million characters. Metered synchronous and long-form synthesis; cloning and voice design have separate charges.
Limits that affect the purchase
Characters are not tokens or minutes. Test pronunciation, timing and usage rights for the exact voice; the demo does not measure listener preference. No ongoing free entitlement is established for the quoted paid route. The quoted API route bills separately from consumer subscriptions and from the historical demonstration platform.
What the existing demonstration shows
Curtis’s audio walkthrough compares default, surprised and happy delivery, pause timing, laugh/throat tags and a combined expressive example. Music 2.5 occupies separate chapters of that video and is not a Speech 2.8 capability test. No blinded voice panel or exact-model HD/Turbo comparison was retained. The original public video description and chapters identify these selected demonstrations; they are not a complete attempt ledger, independent quality score or current pricing test. See the retained Kingy demonstration.
Sources and buying-review date
Buying details checked October 22, 2026. Plan research uses current official sources; demonstration descriptions use the retained Kingy record and any captured creator chapters. No new subscription, paid generation or checkout was performed. The buying-review date does not renew every claim in the broader facts ledger.
