What it costs
Prices checked October 30, 2026, from Speechify’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.
- Premium $29/mo or $139/year (pricing page, checked October 30, 2026).
What we like
- Strong Trustpilot score.
- Many natural voices.
What to watch for
- Refunds limited to 7 days and narrow cases.
- Consumer group filed an FTC complaint in 2026.
- Trustpilot showed 4.7 out of 5 from about 7,246 reviews as of October 30, 2026.
The fine print
- Refunds only within 7 days and only for listed cases (such as charged in error); annual plans only if little was used.
- No partial refunds; app-store purchases follow app-store rules.
The main alternative: NaturalReader
NaturalReader is a cheaper text-to-speech app.
What it costs: Varies by item
Pick SpeechifyChecked by Vetteroo if you…
- want premium voices.
Pick NaturalReader if you…
- want a lower price.
Our take
Speechify reads text aloud with natural voices and strong reviews, but refunds are tight and a consumer group has asked the FTC to look at its practices.
