Yes. The Free plan costs nothing and needs no credit card, with 8,000 credits a month — about 7 minutes of speech. Output on the free plan is for personal, non-commercial projects only.

Can I use Fish Audio voices commercially?

Paid plans allow commercial use of verified voices that you own. The free plan does not include commercial rights, according to the plan-page FAQ.

Do Fish Audio credits roll over?

No. Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle and unused minutes do not carry into the next month, so the plan FAQ advises using your allocation within the period.

Does the API require a subscription?

No. The API is billed separately on a pay-as-you-go basis, and the S2.1 Pro Free model can be called without any credit at all.

What is Fish Audio?

Fish Audio is a voice platform built around text-to-speech and voice cloning. Its current flagship is Drama 3, a model aimed at expressive, emotionally controllable speech that holds up over long passages, alongside the S2.1 Pro model used for everyday generation. The service hosts a community library of more than 2,000,000 uploaded voices, and its cloning tool can build a voice from as little as 10 seconds of reference audio, per the company's FAQ. Speech can be generated in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Arabic and Spanish.

Everything runs from the web app, where a credit balance meters output — roughly 600 to 625 credits per minute of speech. Developers can skip the subscription entirely: the API is billed pay-as-you-go, needs no plan, and includes a free S2.1 Pro Free model tier. Fish Audio grew out of the open-source Fish Speech project, and the hosted service is aimed at creators narrating videos and audiobooks, plus teams building voice agents and character voices into products.
