The short version

  • Only Play.ht has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BMC Helix no pricing is listed on the site; buyers must submit a Request Pricing form or Contact Sales to speak with a rep, per helixops.ai (BMC Helix product page), August 2026; Play.ht the vendor's own pricing FAQ as captured by the Internet Archive on 20 January 2022 states words do not roll over between subscription cycles and reset each renewal, that payments already made are non-refundable, and that running out of words requires a separate one-time purchase; no dollar figures appear in this capture but the mechanism is stated plainly by the vendor
