Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience not trying to promote anything.
I’m a developer running a few automated YouTube channels with AI-generated content. Last year, they brought in over $50k. I started out using ElevenLabs for voice generation, but the cost quickly became unsustainable.
So, I decided to build my own TTS with voice quality as close as possible to ElevenLabs. My version costs me about $0.01 per minute of audio, compared to roughly $0.11 with ElevenLabs.
Two weeks ago, I made the platform public. It offers 3 plans:
Free — 216,000 characters every 24 hours
$5 — comes with $5 in credits + $5 bonus
$499 one-time — unlimited usage, no future payments

Results after 2 weeks:
10,000+ users
700+ users paid the $5 plan
0 users bought the $499 plan
What do you think? Any feedback or ideas?
