Hidden Costs and Considerations
While the pricing page is clear about the costs associated with each plan, there are some hidden costs and considerations that users should be aware of:
- Data transfer costs: If you're using TTS Buddy for large-scale text-to-speech operations, you may incur additional data transfer costs from your cloud provider (e.g., AWS).
- Compute resources: Depending on the complexity of your use case, you may need to provision additional compute resources to handle the increased load.
- Training and support: While priority email support is included in the Pro plan, users may still require additional training or support services to get up to speed with TTS Buddy.

To help estimate costs for larger teams, here are some rough monthly estimates based on team size:
- Solo user: $25 per month (Pro plan)
- Small team (2-5 users): varies by usage per month (Pro plan)
- Medium-sized team (6-20 users): varies by usage per month (Pro plan)
- Enterprise (21+ users): custom pricing quote required
Please note that these estimates are rough and may vary depending on your specific use case.
