Loquendo is a focused pick for Spanish-language content creators and audiobook producers who want a browser-native studio without installing anything. Its credit system is transparent and its audiobook workflow is a genuine differentiator, but the two-language ceiling and the absence of a free tier put it behind ElevenLabs for anyone needing broader language coverage or a risk-free trial. Skip it if you produce content in languages other than English or Spanish.
What is Loquendo?
Loquendo is a web-based AI text-to-speech studio focused on English and Spanish narration. It lets users paste a script, select a voice, choose from three audio quality levels (Basic, Pro, or Max), and export the result as an MP3, with each take supporting up to 10,000 characters. The platform includes a dedicated audiobook creation workflow that lets subscribers narrate manuscripts chapter by chapter, review each section, and download the finished book or individual tracks.
Paid plans range from Starter at $14.50 per month to Enterprise at $149.50 per month, with credits determining how many characters can be generated each billing cycle. Voice cloning is available on all plans, with the number of saved voice profiles increasing at higher tiers. API access and commercial licensing are restricted to Studio and Enterprise subscribers.
How we scored Loquendo
Capability scores 16 because the audiobook chapter-review workflow is a real differentiator, but the hard two-language ceiling (English and Spanish only) is a significant gap versus ElevenLabs and Murf AI, which both support far broader language libraries. Ease of use scores 18 because the browser-native interface, transparent credit math, and per-take character cap make the tool genuinely approachable with minimal onboarding friction. Value scores 13 because there is no free tier, commercial licensing is locked behind the $49.50/month Studio plan, and API access requires the same commitment, making the entry-level Starter plan ($14.50/month) less useful than it appears for anyone with professional output goals. Delivery scores 15 because no user sentiment data or third-party reviews were findable for loquendo.ai specifically, and the discrepancy between the submitted description's claim of a 500-character free tier and the pricing page showing no free plan raises a credibility question that a human editor must resolve before publishing.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- Audiobook chapter-review workflow is a genuine feature advantage over generic TTS tools, letting narrators check each section before finalizing the full manuscript.
- Credit math is transparent: 1 credit = 100 characters at Basic, 2 at Pro, 4 at Max, so project costs are calculable before you start.
- Spanish-language focus gives it cultural fit for the large Spanish-speaking content market, where the Loquendo narrator style has established recognition.
Where it falls short
- Only English and Spanish are supported, a hard limit that makes the tool unusable for any multilingual production workflow.
- No free tier exists; the pricing page lists only three paid plans, so there is no way to test voice quality or the audiobook workflow without paying at least $14.50 for a month.
- Commercial licensing and API access are locked behind the $49.50/month Studio plan, meaning Starter subscribers cannot legally sell their output or integrate via API.

Who should use Loquendo?
Loquendo fits independent authors and small publishers producing Spanish or English audiobooks on a regular schedule. The chapter-by-chapter review workflow and per-track download make it practical for long-form projects that would be unwieldy in a generic TTS tool. Podcasters and YouTube narrators who publish in Spanish and want a consistent cloned voice will also find the credit model predictable enough to budget around.
Anyone producing content in languages beyond English and Spanish should go straight to ElevenLabs, which supports dozens of languages and offers a free tier to test voice quality before paying. Developers who need API access without a monthly commitment will also find ElevenLabs a better fit, since Loquendo gates its API behind the $49.50/month Studio plan with no trial option.
