Studio subscription prices
Murf’s pricing page has a Studio tab, but the public HTML we fetched on Nov 10, 2026 did not include the Studio plan dollar amounts. Rather than guess Creator or Business prices from third-party blogs, those figures are omitted until we can copy them from Murf’s own page. If you need a current Studio quote, open murf.ai/pricing and select Studio.
Compare the API unit price with ElevenLabs on ElevenLabs vs Murf.
For a consumer yearly bill with official numbers we could copy, Speechify Premium is $139 / year or $29 / month on speechify.com, as of Nov 10, 2026.
