Plans and free allowances
The page labels Trial as Free with 3 downloaded minutes per month and no commercial rights. It shows Starter at $19/month with 20 downloaded minutes, or $120/year ($10/month equivalent) with 240 minutes/year; Pro is $49/month with 180 minutes/month or $396/year ($33/month equivalent) with 2,160 minutes/year. Currency is shown with $ but not explicitly coded. Paid allowances count finished audio downloaded, not every generated take.

A closer look at WellSaid
WellSaid Studio creates voiceovers from text and provides controls for delivery and pronunciation. Its plan meter is based on finished audio downloaded, so users can revise a take before export, but should budget for the final minutes and check which file formats come with the chosen tier.
Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.
When to choose WellSaid
- A learning designer needs narration for a module or short instructional video.
- A product team wants to correct difficult names or terms before downloading the final voice track.
- An editor wants captions or higher-sample-rate audio and is comparing the plan's export options.
When to choose something else
- A user needs commercial rights from the free Trial.
- A project has a long finished runtime but no budget for the plan's downloaded-minute allowance or extra minutes.
- A developer expects Studio subscription access to include the separate API service.
A practical starting workflow
- Finalize the script and mark words that need a pronunciation check.
- Generate a short sample, adjust pronunciation and delivery, and review it aloud in context.
- Revise the script before exporting so the download allowance is spent on the approved takes.
- Choose the export format and sample rate that the next editing step can actually use.
- If captions are required, verify their timing against the final audio rather than the draft.
Check before committing
- The free Trial lists 3 download minutes per month and no commercial rights; paid plans include commercial use according to the published pricing page.
- Download minutes measure final audio saved, while generation and revisions are described separately; check the current plan before a long batch.
- File formats and sample rates vary by tier, and API access is a separate offering from Studio plans.
Common questions
Does the free Trial include commercial usage rights?
