Free to start
A free AI podcast generator you can actually finish an episode with.
New accounts get 50 trial credits and the complete workflow: upload, outline, script editing, 1,292 voices, and a downloadable MP3. No plan is needed to reach the editor.
What the trial includes
Free means the whole workflow, not a locked preview.
The trial is a credit allowance, not a downgraded product. Everything below is available before you subscribe.
50 credits on sign-up
Valid for 30 days, roughly 8 minutes 20 seconds of standard audio — enough to take one document through outline, script, voices, and a finished episode.
Every voice in the library
All 1,292 catalog voices are available during the trial. Preview samples, filter by language, gender, and age, then assign a different voice to each speaker.
Editable script before audio
The free trial is not a locked demo. You get the outline, the full script editor, direction tags, and the review step before any audio is generated.
Up to four speakers
Single narrator, two-host interview, or a multi-speaker panel — the host count is not restricted to the trial plan.
Where free stops
The exact limits, before you sign up.
Most free AI podcast tools advertise a free tier and hide the cap. These are the four limits that decide whether the trial is enough for your episode.
Trial credits do not renew
50 credits is a one-time allowance per account. When they run out, audio generation stops until you choose a plan.
Standard is $12/month
500 credits each month, about 83 minutes of standard audio. Yearly billing keeps the same monthly allowance on one invoice.
Uploads up to 20 MB
PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files. For a cleaner source, export the chapter you need instead of a whole book.
One episode is capped by credits
There is no fixed minute cap on an episode, but a long script consumes more credits. A text-to-speech run also stops at 120,000 characters or 120 speaker turns, so split very long sources.

Frequently asked questions
Is the free AI podcast generator really free?
Yes, within a fixed allowance. A new account gets 50 trial credits valid for 30 days, which covers about 8 minutes 20 seconds of standard audio. The full workflow — upload, outline, script editing, voice preview, and generation — is available during that trial. There is no separate free tier that renews every month.
Can I try it without choosing a plan first?
Yes. Signing up adds the 50 trial credits to your workspace, so you can open the editor, review a script, and generate the trial audio before selecting a monthly or yearly plan. A plan only becomes necessary once you want more credits than the trial allows.
How long is 50 credits in audio?
Roughly 8 minutes 20 seconds of standard audio, based on the same conversion used for paid plans where 500 credits is about 83 minutes. A two-host episode therefore fits in the trial if you keep the script focused; a 20-minute episode does not.
What happens when the trial credits run out?
Audio generation stops because there are no credits left to spend. Editing, browsing the voice library, and previewing voices still work. To keep generating you pick the Standard plan at $12 per month for 500 credits, or yearly billing with the same monthly allowance.
Which voices can I use for free?
The whole public catalog — 1,292 voices across languages, genders, and ages — is available during the trial. Browse and preview voices in the library, then assign any of them to a speaker before generating the episode.
Can I use the free output commercially?
Audio you generate belongs to you and can be published, including on podcast platforms. Check the terms of service for the exact wording, and confirm that you hold the rights to the source document you uploaded.
