TTSMaker is the right pick for solo creators and educators who need occasional narration without paying anything, since the free tier is genuinely permanent and includes commercial rights. The ceiling hits fast though: API access is locked behind Pro or Studio, and the free and Lite plans both lack dialogue editing, putting it behind more capable paid tools for production workflows. If you need programmatic TTS or multi-speaker scripted audio, look elsewhere.
What is TTSMaker?
TTSMaker is a web-based text-to-speech service that converts pasted text into downloadable audio across more than 100 languages and 600-plus voices. It operates on a freemium model, offering a permanent free tier with 20,000 characters per week and commercial use rights, alongside paid plans that add API access, emotion styles, higher character limits, and priority support.
The tool runs entirely in the browser with no app to install. Output formats include MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC, and OPUS, and the converter generates a timed SRT subtitle file alongside each audio export. Users can adjust speed, pitch, and volume, and background music can be layered under the narration. Content creators, educators, marketers, and developers building TTS integrations are its primary audiences, though API access requires a Pro or Studio subscription.
How we scored TTSMaker
Capability lands at 17 because API access and multi-speaker dialogue editing are both locked behind paid tiers, and the free and Lite plans lack features that competing paid TTS tools include at lower price points; the voice library breadth (600+ voices, 100+ languages) and SSML controls prevent a lower score. Ease of use scores 21 because the tool works in a browser with no account required for basic use, the interface is straightforward, and SRT subtitle generation is an automatic bonus. Value scores 20 because the free tier is genuinely useful and commercially licensed, but the jump from $12.99/mo (Lite, no API) to $140/mo (Studio, with API) is a steep cliff with no confirmed mid-tier price, which hurts value for the developer audience. Delivery scores 10 because the refund policy is unusually punitive: one refund per account lifetime, a 500-character use threshold that closes the window, and no partial refunds; this is a documented trust concern that a buyer should weigh seriously before upgrading.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- Permanent free tier with 20,000 characters per week and commercial use rights included, no watermark on output
- Broad format support across MP3, OGG, AAC, OPUS, and WAV, plus automatic SRT subtitle file generation alongside each export
- Over 600 voices across 100+ languages with adjustable speed, pitch, and volume controls available even on the free plan
Where it falls short
- API access is completely unavailable on the Free and Lite plans, forcing any developer integration to the Pro or Studio tier regardless of usage volume
- Refund policy allows only one refund per account lifetime and closes the window once 500 characters have been processed, which is an unusually restrictive policy for a subscription product
- Background music uploads on the free tier expire after six hours and are capped at three files, making the feature nearly unusable for iterative production work

Who should use TTSMaker?
A solo YouTuber, podcaster, or e-learning author who needs occasional narration and cannot justify a monthly TTS subscription will get real value here. The 20,000-character weekly free quota covers roughly four to six minutes of audio, enough for short explainer videos or course segments, and the commercial licence means the output can go straight into monetized content without legal ambiguity.
Anyone building a production pipeline should think twice. Developers who need API access must be on Pro or Studio, and teams producing scripted multi-speaker dialogue need an eligible paid plan for that feature. If your workflow is programmatic or high-volume, ElevenLabs or a similar API-first platform will serve you better. ElevenLabs and Murf AI are both listed in this directory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the free plan really permanent, or is it a trial?+
TTSMaker's stated policy is to offer a permanent free version, not a time-limited trial. The company reserves the right to adjust policies in the future, but the free tier is not set to expire automatically.
Can I use TTSMaker audio in commercial projects?+
Yes. Commercial use is permitted on both the free and paid plans under TTSMaker's published licence. This applies to monetized YouTube videos, podcasts, e-learning courses, and similar uses.
What is the character limit on the free plan?+
The free plan allows up to 20,000 characters per week. The quota resets on a weekly basis.
Do I need an account to use TTSMaker?+
The basic converter at ttsmaker.com can be used without creating an account. A Pro subscription requires account registration and payment.
Is there an API for developers?+
Yes, but API access is only available on Pro and Studio plans. The Free and Lite plans have no API access, so developers must upgrade to integrate TTSMaker programmatically.
What is the refund policy if I upgrade and change my mind?+
An unused subscription can be refunded within 30 days, but the window closes once 500 characters have been processed. Partial refunds are not available, and each account is limited to one refund before further purchases are restricted.
