Last verified Sep 20, 2026 · Source verified
What you can use for free
The browser Free plan lists 8,000 credits per month, up to seven minutes, 500 characters per generation and three public voice slots. No card required. Credits reset each billing cycle without rollover. The FAQ rough credits-per-minute estimate does not reconcile with the up-to-seven-minutes summary; actual Drama3 request cost was not displayed or tested. Developer API allowances are separate.
Usage rights

Six official voice examples
Choose a language below, open its Fish Audio page and press the sample's play button. Each link uses a different voice and language. These recordings belong to Fish's official showcase; they are not generated by FreeAIList or hosted on this website.
The six voice previews do not identify their recording model, settings, cost or funding route. They demonstrate the provider's voice library, not six verified Drama3 Free-plan results. Fish may request sign-in; if playback does not load in the in-app browser, try your usual browser.

What Fish Audio does
Fish Audio offers browser text-to-speech and voice creation. Drama3 Preview was selectable in our Free account during the October 9 partial review. The guide links six Fish Official voice previews in different languages and a separate Drama3 provider showcase. These are provider recordings, not our generated examples; their exact recording models, settings, costs and funding are unknown. No Fish generation, charge, download or audio-file inspection was performed.

FreeAIList verdict
Consider Fish Audio for short personal speech experiments with a current browser model. Listen to the six official voice pages before generating; these are provider examples, not our Free tests. Its noncommercial Free terms make it unsuitable for a monetized soundtrack under the checked plan. Use the actual account quote to budget Drama3 rather than deriving a guaranteed duration.
Paid plans: Paid browser plans add credits and features. Free use is personal and noncommercial; check the current plan, voice rights and terms before paying for a commercial workflow. Browser subscriptions and developer API pricing are separate.
About this practical guide
Sources checked Oct 9, 2026
Partial review of official pricing, terms, model pages and six Fish Official voice pages on October 9, 2026. A signed-in Free account showed 8,000 credits and selectable Drama3 Preview without an observed upgrade gate. No Fish audio was generated or downloaded. These are provider listening links, not our tests; recording model, settings, cost and funding are not established. The full-listing verification date remains unchanged.
Browse free voice and audio websites →Hear the separate Drama3 showcase
Fish's Drama3 page has a directed scene with several takes. Use its play control and compare how directions change the same scene. This is a provider demonstration of Drama3 Preview, separate from the six voice-library recordings above.
The showcase does not disclose its creation cost or funding route. We have not generated a Free Drama3 sample, measured its quality or confirmed that every demonstrated setting is available on every Free account.
Listen to Fish's Drama3 directed-scene demo ↗What can you try for free in the browser?
The current browser pricing page lists 8,000 monthly credits, up to seven minutes, 500 characters per generation and three public voice slots. No credit card is required for Free. Monthly credits do not roll over.
The pricing FAQ also gives a rough credits-per-minute estimate that does not reconcile with its up-to-seven-minutes summary. Use the account's actual request cost and remaining balance instead of converting 8,000 credits into a promised duration. Our prepared Drama3 request did not display a numeric cost and was not submitted.
Fish Audio's browser Free plan and reset FAQ ↗Prepare one short Drama3 speech test
Drama3 Preview accepts delivery directions and inline pauses. In our Free account it was selected alongside an official Sarah voice, with speed 1× and volume 0. The original practice text below is ungenerated; it is not a recording transcript or a quality result.
Select the current browser model
Open Text To Speech and inspect the selector. Choose Drama3 Preview if your Free account offers it; do not assume a model tile guarantees funded access.
Check voice, text and budget
Use an official voice and a short script in one supported language. Check the 500-character limit, displayed cost and account balance before generating. Preview behavior may change.
Listen and record the result
If you choose to generate, check pronunciation, directions and pauses. Save the actual model, settings and observed credit change; provider demos do not substitute for your own test.
ORIGINAL PRACTICE TEXT — NOT GENERATED
[warm and curious] At the midnight museum, a tiny brass whale began to sing. [pause] Mara followed the melody to a door that had never opened before.
Why listening stays on Fish Audio
Fish's current Free plan and terms limit unpaid use to personal, noncommercial purposes. Its voice library includes AI-designed and licensed voices, but those badges do not override the plan's output-use restrictions.
This directory links to Fish's own listening pages. We have not obtained permission to copy or host those recordings. No Fish audio file, embedded player or download is provided here. Check the applicable plan and rights before using generated speech in a monetized video or client project.
Fish Audio's current service and content-use terms ↗When to choose Google AI Studio & Gemini API instead
Our Google AI Studio guide has six original spoken examples in six languages, with transcripts and recorded Free funding. Choose it when you want to hear our actual tests on this website.
Google's eligibility, model limits and output terms are separate. Fish's credit allowance and provider recordings do not apply to Google.
