Pricing questions
One credit narrates 1,000 characters of text, spaces and punctuation included; a Chinese, Japanese or Korean character counts as two. That is about a minute of English audio, or two minutes of Chinese.
An 80,000-word novel is about 450,000 characters, so about 450 credits: $28 to $38, depending on the pack or plan. Front matter, contents and license pages are left out by default, and you see the exact number before you start.
Credits are taken when a book starts. A chapter that can't be made gets its share back when the book finishes, and if you cancel, the chapters not made yet are refunded too.
Pack credits last a year. Plan credits last to the end of the billing period: a month on a monthly plan, a year on a yearly plan.
A pack is the simplest way to make one book: pay once, no subscription. Plans cost less per credit if you make books every month, and yearly plans cost 20% less again.
Yes, any time, in your account's billing settings. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and its credits stay usable until then.
Yes, without an account: the first passage of any book is free to hear in the narrator you pick, and reading aloud with your browser's voices is free with no limit. Credits are only for AI narration and audiobook files.
