What happens after you cancel
- Paid features run until the end of the paid period.
- Projects and generated audio stay; downloads revert to free-plan rules after lapse.
- Unused characters do not carry over or refund.
Refund policy
Play.ht only refunds within 24 hours of purchase and only if fewer than 5,000 characters were used. Anything beyond that is final; EU and UK customers keep the 14-day withdrawal right.
The gotchas that trip people up
- ('The 24-hour refund window is strict. More than 5,000 characters generated and the refund option is gone.', "'Unlimited' has a fair-use cap. Roughly 2.5M characters/month - heavy users still hit a wall.")
Why people actually cancel
Three reasons come up over and over in the threads complaining about this:
- TTS is a commodity now. Dozens of tools bundle realistic voices for less.
- Character quotas burn fast. A few long narrations eat the annual pool.
- Project ended. The audiobook or course shipped and the plan keeps billing.
If that is why you are leaving
If the reason is cost or juggling, the answer is not another single-tool subscription, it is consolidation. Krater Pro is $20 a month and includes voice generation and TTS alongside 500+ models in one workspace. Browse the full model list. Teams get 5 seats on Max for $119 flat instead of per-seat billing.
The free plan keeps 1,000 characters and all voices to preview.
