The short version

  • Only Play.ht has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: HappyFox the Basic plan caps agents at 5, with unlimited agents only above it; 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
  • They diverge on capability: HappyFox covers Ticketing, Play.ht covers 900+ voices.
