ReadSpeaker details reflect their public sales process as of October 2026. Their pricing isn't published, so we don't quote it. If anything here is out of date, email [email protected] and we'll fix it.

Switching takes one line

Remove your existing player script, add yours, and verify your domain in the dashboard. Visitors get a listen button with word highlighting, and every replay of cached audio is free.

When ReadSpeaker is the better fit

  • You need text-to-speech in many more languages than we support
  • Your procurement process requires a long-established enterprise vendor
  • You want a vendor-managed rollout across many properties with a dedicated account team

When ReadingVox is the better fit

  • You want to launch today, without a sales call or a quote
  • You want published prices and monthly billing instead of an annual contract
  • Your traffic is high or spiky: listens are unlimited, you only pay for new audio
  • You're a blog, publisher, or small team that wants to try it free first
