Terms of Service

Overview

These terms apply to Play HT at playht.app. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the service. Play HT is an independent text-to-speech service. Accounts, subscriptions, projects, models, and API credentials from the archived Play.ht service do not transfer to this website.

Website Use

You may use Play HT to preview a script, choose a public voice, generate speech, listen to the result, and download an MP3. Do not interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, bypass usage limits, or send requests that disrupt other visitors. The public preview API follows the same limits as the editor.

Scripts, Voices, and Audio Permission

Submit only text you have permission to use and process. You are responsible for respecting copyright, privacy, confidentiality, and other applicable rights. Do not use generated audio for deceptive impersonation, fraud, harassment, or other unlawful purposes. Selecting a public voice does not give you rights to a person's identity or endorsement.

Review generated audio before sharing or relying on it. Pronunciation, names, accents, timing, and meaning may be incorrect. Download availability does not establish that a clip is cleared for every use. Any use of generated audio, including commercial use, remains subject to applicable rights and the external speech processor's terms and prohibited use policy.

Free Preview Limits and Availability

Guests can preview Basic with up to 500 characters per generation and three generation attempts per network address daily. Guests share a sitewide allowance of 100,000 characters per day. Both guest limits reset at 00:00 UTC. Failed, incomplete clips release their reserved allowance; canceling a started generation uses an attempt. People on the same network may share an allowance. Replay and download of an existing clip do not use another generation.

Signed-in requests use account credits and bypass both guest limits. A signed-in account without an active subscription can generate up to 500 characters at a time with Basic. Any active subscription allows up to 10,000 characters on the models included in that plan. Character counts use Unicode code points after trimming whitespace. Public voices may change or become unavailable. The editor and API have no uptime guarantee.

Account, Plans, and Credits

Google sign-in is optional. Registration grants 10 gift credits once. Your personal center lets you manage your profile and avatar, collect daily check-in rewards, and view credit activity. Gift credits work with Basic only. Keep your sign-in session secure and provide information and images you are entitled to use.

Starter is $29 monthly or $174 yearly, with 1,500 credits per month and access to Basic and Pro. Studio is $99 monthly or $594 yearly, with 6,000 credits per month and access to Basic, Pro, and Max. Enterprise is $299 monthly or $1,794 yearly, with 30,000 credits per month and access to all three models. Signed-in users can buy a plan through Stripe Checkout when checkout is available. A plan starts only after payment confirmation. You can manage or cancel a Stripe subscription from the billing portal. Viewing pricing or selecting a model does not charge your account.

Basic uses 1 credit per 100 characters, Pro uses 2, and Max uses 4. Each generation rounds up to a whole credit. Plan credits are issued monthly, including for yearly plans, and expire at the end of their monthly grant period without rollover. Purchased and gift credits have no expiry. Subscription credits are used first, then gifts, then purchased credits; gifts cannot pay for Pro or Max.

Extra credits are available to subscribers: 200 credits for $5, 700 for $15, or 2,500 for $49. Extra credits do not unlock additional models. After a subscription ends, remaining purchased credits can be used with Basic within the 500-character limit. Credit packs are one-time purchases. All model access is checked against the account's active plan and period.

Failed, incomplete generations return reserved credits to their original credit sources; their original expiry still applies. Canceling a started generation uses credits. Replaying and downloading completed audio do not use additional credits. Signed-in users can access saved scripts and audio in Generation history. Guests should download a clip before leaving the editor. Retention and access are explained in the privacy policy.

Private Voice Cloning

An active subscription lets you create private voices from samples you record or upload. Starter includes one active voice and two creations per UTC calendar month; Studio includes four active voices and six creations; Enterprise includes twenty active voices and twenty creations. Deleting a voice frees its active slot but does not restore a monthly creation. Creating a voice uses no credits. Speech generated with it uses the selected model's standard credit rate. A private voice cannot be used after its subscription expires. Samples must be MP3, WAV, or M4A and at most 10 MB.

Only clone your own voice or a voice you have explicit permission to clone. You confirm this when creating a private voice. Do not clone a voice to impersonate, deceive, or violate another person's rights. You can delete a private voice from My voices; deleting your account also queues its removal. The external speech processor receives your sample to create the voice.

External Services and Privacy

An external speech processor handles scripts. Stripe processes checkout and billing information; Play HT stores customer and subscription identifiers, payment status, and credit grants, but does not store full card numbers. Hosting, analytics, sign-in, and customer support also rely on external services. Their applicable terms and policies govern their services. The footer's AI links open third-party services with a general question about PlayHT.App; they do not include your editor script, generated audio, or account information. Responses from those services are not official Play HT statements.

Read our privacy policy for details about scripts, audio, usage records, account information, uploaded avatars, analytics, and support chat.

Changes and Contact

We may update these terms as the service changes. The date on this page identifies the latest update. For questions about these terms or the service, email support@playht.app. For general inquiries, email hello@playht.app.
