## Alternatives in Voice and audio

- #2 **Descript** — Descript · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: The fastest way to edit podcasts and talking-head videos; not focused on generating voices from scratch.
   Official site: https://www.descript.com

- #4 **Whisper** — OpenAI · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: High-quality, free and local transcription; requires some technical comfort or an app built on top of it.
   Official site: https://github.com/openai/whisper

- #5 **Speechify** — Speechify · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Has a free plan and explicit Portuguese support, but natural voices and the 60+ languages are locked to the US$29/month Premium plan.
   Official site: https://speechify.com

- #6 **Fish Audio** — Hanabi AI Inc. · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: It has a free plan, voice cloning, an API and commercial use on the Plus plan (US$15/month on monthly billing), but the documentation only names Portuguese explicitly for the S1 model, which is being retired.
   Official site: https://fish.audio

- #7 **Cartesia** — Cartesia · Has a free plan
   Why it ranks here: Free plan and a cheap US$5/month entry with voice cloning, but commercial use and instant cloning require a paid plan and everything is credit-limited.
   Official site: https://cartesia.ai
