Speechbase is a hosted text-to-speech gateway and voice management platform for AI teams and developers. Its web dashboard and REST API provide one interface for routing requests across providers such as OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Cartesia, Google, Hume, and others. The platform is suited to teams that want reusable voice IDs, multi-speaker conversation generation, word-level timestamps, pronunciation controls, moderation, and request observability without building separate provider connections for each service.

Pricing is split across Free, Pro, and Enterprise. The Free plan includes an audio playground, bring-your-own provider keys, Speech Gateway, and one team seat. Pro costs $30 per month with monthly billing or $300 per year with annual billing, and adds managed billing and governance, 30,000 credits, custom pronunciation dictionaries, and moderation rules. The published starting price is $25 per month with annual billing. Enterprise adds unlimited credits, voices, and seats; negotiated managed-routing rates; SAML / SSO and SCIM provisioning; bring-your-own object storage; invoice / PO billing; and a dedicated Slack channel. This structure gives smaller teams a low-commitment entry point while reserving administration and access controls for higher tiers.

The strongest fit is a multi-provider production workflow. Speechbase supports bring-your-own provider keys as well as managed routing on supported plans, while its voice library, timestamps, dictionaries, moderation rulesets, request logs, and usage observability cover operational needs around generation and review. Export formats include MP3, WAV, and PCM, and the platform exposes both web and API access. Teams seeking a single TTS provider, a narrowly focused voice-generation tool, or predictable language coverage from one provider may prefer a more specialized option. Speechbase makes the most sense when provider flexibility and centralized controls matter more than minimizing subscription cost.

Speechbase pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Single API connects multiple TTS providers and routing options.
    • Reusable voices, conversations, timestamps, and pronunciation dictionaries.
    • Moderation, request logs, and usage observability support team workflows.
  • Where it doesn't
    • Provider-dependent routing can make language coverage vary by provider.
    • The $25 annual-billing entry price is less compelling for smaller teams.
    • Managed billing and governance are reserved for paid plans.
