How much does Speechify Studio cost per hour of voiceover?
About $9.50 per finished hour of voiceover on Speechify Studio's $19/month Starter plan. Studio meters 1 credit per second, and Starter's 7,200 credits are exactly 2 hours of voiceover — so $19 ÷ 2 hours is roughly $9.50 an hour, or about $0.16 a minute. That's for standard voiceover; dubbing burns 3× the credits (so ~$28.50/hour of dubbing) and avatar video 30× (~$285/hour), from the same pool. Verified on Speechify's pages, Jul 2026.
The per-hour framing is useful for audiobook and long-form narration budgeting, where hours matter more than minutes. At ~$9.50 a finished hour, Speechify Studio Starter is competitive with the rest of the voice field once you convert every tool to the same unit.
Watch the mode multipliers before assuming that rate holds: the same 2-hour voiceover allowance is only about 40 minutes of dubbing or 4 minutes of avatar video. Because all three modes draw on one pool, an hour spent on avatar footage is not an hour you also have for narration.
The plan ladder moves the rate more than most buyers expect. Studio Creator's 28,800 credits at $49 work out to roughly $6.13 a finished voiceover hour against Starter's $9.50 — about 35% cheaper per hour, because the credit-to-second rate is fixed while the pool grows four-fold for two-and-a-half times the price. If you narrate more than about two hours a month, the cheaper plan is the more expensive one. One thing that does not cost credits: re-exporting speech you already generated, or changing its volume. Changing pitch, speed or emotion re-runs the generation and bills again, so lock the read before fine-tuning delivery.
