Suno Speech Beta was unveiled on October 1st, 2026, as the first voice model that simultaneously generates speech and music. However, Suno has not disclosed pricing, plan quotas, supported languages, or maximum duration for the service. The announcement was made by Chief Product Officer Jack Brody, who described the process of creating audio content in two steps: providing text input and specifying desired voice and musical style. Examples include dramatic readings, voice notes with cinematic scores, and bedtime stories.
Suno's beta is available on web, iOS, and Android platforms as a built-in feature of the Suno app. It offers controls to adjust age range, vocal texture, emotion, accent, pace, and delivery, along with separate options for soundtrack placement. Suno also provides simple and advanced modes with additional customization options.
The beta version may have limitations such as inconsistent accents and exaggerated dramatic pauses. Suno has not published specific information regarding pricing, plan quotas, language support, or output format for Speech. The pricing details for other voice generation services, including ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Google Cloud, and Fish Audio, were checked on October 16, 2026.
ElevenLabs Pro costs $99 per month for 600,000 credits, with each additional minute costing approximately $0.17. OpenAI's TTS-1 service is priced at $15 per 1 million characters, while Google Cloud TTS offers varying prices depending on the model and usage tier. Fish Audio charges $15 per 1 million UTF-8 bytes for its API.
