About
Fish Audio is the budget TTS API: 83 languages, ~10s instant cloning, and live ownership checks for pro clones — at $15 per 1M UTF-8 bytes, a fraction of ElevenLabs' price.
The value alternative for high-volume TTS where ElevenLabs' premium isn't justified. Smaller ecosystem, but real and live.
