How is this cheaper than Google TTS? Google's standard voices are $4 per million characters. And the deep learning ones are $16 per million characters, same as this offering. Plus Google gives you the first 1M free every month.

OP here. The more you use, the cheaper it gets. But if you're not using much, there isn't any cost-saving benefits.

Once you scale to ~60M characters per month, it's 50% cheaper. In other words, if you're at a stage where you spend $1,000/mo on text-to-speech, you'd spend $500/mo instead.

Do you support SSML and other languages besides English? The demo site suggests not, and I couldn’t explore further without signing up.

This service might be cheaper than Google at scale, but if I needed 60M chars a month I’d probably care about those features.

Only one time.
