How does WellSaid's download-minute billing work?
WellSaid counts "Minutes of finished audio you download". Regenerating or changing clips "does not count against downloaded minutes", so retakes are free on paid plans. For careful editing, that's a real strength.
The allowance is the limit to plan for. Starter includes 20 download minutes a month on monthly billing, or 240 a year on annual billing; Pro includes 180 a month or 2,160 a year. Unused minutes "reset at the start of each billing cycle", and extra minutes can be bought in the Studio.
Vois Studio's Subscriber and Pro plans have no download allowance: a ten-hour audiobook exports the same way as a ten-second clip. For a worked example of what long books cost on metered tools, see AI audiobook narration without per-character fees.
Where is the audio made, and what happens if you cancel?
Vois Studio generates speech, edits, masters and exports on your computer, and your scripts and audio aren't uploaded to be voiced. It needs the internet for setup, the first download of each voice engine, activation and periodic licence checks. After a successful check, paid plans keep working offline for up to a day. Free keeps generating offline, but its exports need a connection. If you cancel, your files and projects stay on your computer and your licence moves to Free.
WellSaid Studio runs in the browser. WellSaid says customer data and content "are never used to train our AI models". If a WellSaid subscription is inactive, you "won't be able to access or download your projects", which are stored for up to five years after cancellation.
Where does WellSaid offer more?
Every WellSaid voice is "modeled on licensed recordings from real voice actors", with full commercial rights on all paid plans. If your legal or brand team asks where a voice came from, that's a clear answer.
Retakes are unlimited on paid plans, so you can regenerate a line as often as you like before you download it.
Business adds a team workspace and collaborator seats, and Enterprise adds SSO. For integrations, there's Adobe Express on Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro on Business, plus caption files with each clip on paid plans.
On annual billing, Starter costs less to start: $10 a month, if 240 minutes a year is enough.
Where does Vois Studio fit?
Vois Studio suits creators who produce a lot of finished audio, or work in more than English without an enterprise contract. Its six engines are chosen by the job (see which Vois Studio voice engine to use): Sonic for drafts on every plan, Fast for revisions in five languages, Expressive for English reaction tags like [laugh], Multilingual for one speaker across 23 languages, and Craft and Omni on Pro for plain-word direction. Omni also designs voices from a description.
Cloning is included on Subscriber and Pro. Use your own voice or one you have permission to clone; a clone keeps the language and accent of the recording it was made from. Vois Studio speaks the words you write; it doesn't translate them.
The limits, plainly: Vois Studio needs a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows x64 PC, each engine downloads the first time you use it, there's no shared cloud workspace, and every export carries an inaudible watermark.
Which should you choose?
| If you need... | Consider |
|---|---|
| Voices with a documented licensed-actor source | WellSaid |
| A team workspace with collaborator seats | WellSaid |
| Adobe Express or Premiere Pro integration | WellSaid |
| Hours of finished audio a month without a download allowance | Vois Studio |
| Non-English voices without an enterprise plan | Vois Studio |
| Self-serve cloning of your own voice | Vois Studio |
| Scripts and voice samples kept on your own computer | Vois Studio |
Try both with your real script. WellSaid's free plan includes 3 download minutes a month; Vois Studio Free never expires. Neither free plan covers commercial use.
