An LMNT alternative that is still running

Short answer: LMNT's own site says it has shut down. If you used it for text to speech or voice cloning, Speakvora does the same job: $0.70 per million characters for catalog voices, $6 for your own voice, 100,000 characters free.

What we know about LMNT

The page at lmnt.com states that LMNT has shut down. We do not list LMNT prices or make claims about it, because it no longer offers a service to compare.

Why Speakvora is a good place to move

It is operating and billed in plain characters. No subscription, no credits to expire.
Your own voice. Record about 20 seconds or describe a voice, and get a voice id and an API key straight away.
Low price. $0.70 per million characters for catalog voices and $6 for your own voice.
A checked phrase library. Repeated prompts can be played from stored audio instead of generated each time.

Moving over

Create your voice in the portal.
Replace your LMNT request with one call:

curl -X POST https://speakvora.com/api/v1/speak \
  -H "x-api-key: $SPEAKVORA_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"Thanks for calling. How can I help?","voice":"YOUR_VOICE_ID"}'

Play the returned audio link in your app or phone system.

What we do not claim

We have not compared voice quality or latency with LMNT or any other provider. Custom voices speak English today; French and German are in beta. For official prices of other providers see the comparison page.

Questions

Has LMNT shut down?

LMNT's own website (lmnt.com) says: "LMNT has shut down." It gives no date and no migration advice. Check lmnt.com for the current status.

What is a good LMNT alternative?

Speakvora covers the same job: a text-to-speech API with voice cloning. Create a voice from about 20 seconds of speech and call it from one endpoint.

How much does it cost?

Catalog voices are $0.70 per million characters and your own voice is $6 per million, with 100,000 characters free and no subscription.

Why Speakvora rather than another provider?

It is still operating, bills plain characters, needs no plan, and has a checked phrase library for repeated prompts. We have not compared voice quality with other providers; see the comparison page for official prices of others.
