Per article or per character.
BeyondWords prices by the article. Its site tells publishers to stop counting characters and start counting articles, and says updates cost only the new paragraphs. The demo form asks for your monthly publishing volume.
Sizzle Voice prices by length, and the rates are on this site:
- Fast: 5 credits per 10,000 characters, around 4 to 5 cents when bought in a pack.
- Studio, the more natural voice: 30 credits per 10,000 characters, around 25 to 27 cents.
- Monthly plan: $19 for 2,500 credits, and unused credits roll over.
Estimate your monthly cost.
Measure a typical post
Check how many characters it has. Most text editors can count them for you.
Price the length
Every 10,000 characters is 5 credits on Fast or 30 on Studio.
Multiply by your volume
Twenty posts of 10,000 characters a month use 100 credits on Fast or 600 on Studio. Either fits in one $9 pack of 1,000 credits.
Set it against a quote
Ask BeyondWords for a price at the same volume and compare like for like.
Sizzle charges again when you regenerate an edited post, at the same rate as a new one. If you often correct published articles, count those reruns in your estimate.

BeyondWords or Sizzle Voice: what to ask.
How much does BeyondWords cost?
It does not publish prices. Its pricing link leads to a demo booking, and its site says the price follows your publishing volume in articles.
Does BeyondWords have a WordPress plugin?
Yes, on WordPress.org. It connects your site to a BeyondWords project and creates audio as you publish.
Is per-character or per-article pricing cheaper?
Short posts favour per-character pricing, since you pay only for the text read. For long articles that change often, get a per-article quote and compare.
What does BeyondWords charge when I update an article?
Its site says updates cost only the new paragraphs. With Sizzle Voice an edited post is generated again in full, at the usual rate.
How do I switch from BeyondWords to Sizzle Voice?
Turn off the BeyondWords player first so no post shows two. Then install the Sizzle plugin and generate audio post by post, or switch on generate on publish.
