Play.ht alternative

Play.ht shut down.
Your API still needs to work.

Meta acquired Play.ht in July 2025 and shut it down on 31 December 2025. If your product relied on their TTS API, you need a drop-in replacement, fast. Audexum has 43 voices, 32 languages, the same REST shape, and plans from €12/month.

Migrate in 5 minutes.

Three changes. No new SDKs. Your existing integration logic stays intact.

  1. 1

    Replace the base URL

    // Before
    fetch("https://api.play.ht/api/v2/tts", { ... })
    
    // After
    fetch("https://audexum.com/api/synthesize", { ... })
  2. 2

    Swap your API key

    // Before
    Authorization: Bearer <play_ht_key>
    
    // After
    Authorization: Bearer sk_live_<audexum_key>
  3. 3

    Pick a voice and ship

    // Same field, new voice ID
    {
      "text": "Hello world",
      "voice": "af_heart",
      "output_format": "wav"
    }
