I agree and I'm saddened that it's a deal breaker for you. Unfortunately, we do not have infrastructure to offer pay-as-you-go (actually pretty challenging ops). We're forced to target a smaller niche today and expand in the future (i.e. offer pay-as-you-go).

But for those who are already spending, let's say, $250+ a month on TTS, this is a sweet deal. They are my initial target customers.

We're sampling the Neural AWS Polly Matthew voice. FYI: Neural Matthew ($16/1M chars): https://unreal-tts-live-demo.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws/... Standard Matthew ($4/1M chars): https://unreal-tts-live-demo.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws/...

Well, our $250/mo is at $2.6 per 1M chars which is even cheaper than Standard Matthew, and I think ours clearly sounds better?
