Great review! The app is about $120 a year now. I was able to talk to customer service and it's about $30 a month now to use. It's very expensive but I haven't had any issues with it yet. I downloaded a long book that was about 120 pages long. And it's working just fine it was a PDF. I'm going to try to do the $30 a month but that's just expensive 😡😡. I wish they would drop the price for the app that just seems a little too greedy.

I am still using this app a year later since I haven't found a good alternative. I had hoped that over time the app would undergo updates and inevitably improve its many flaws. I'm sad to say that, in fact, I've noticed more flaws recently, especially with the voices-they sound less human and more robotic now. I noticed this just yesterday when I was using the app to read me a book. I feel that their pricing is inconsistent and definitely way too high considering the quality of the service. I pay $69.99 a year, which I got during a promotion, and I am still paying that amount annually. If you are interested in having a premium subscription with Speechify, I recommend keeping an eye out for special discounts. I have linked a discount in my description if you are interested. Nevertheless, even with a discount, the price is still too much. I'm hoping to make an updated video on the whole Speechify experience soon.

The decent voices are very limited. I got premium for good voices but only got through 1.5 books and they took the premium voices away. The service is VERY VERY VERY VERY limited for the price.

[@logicwithjulia]

Yes, I completely agree. After months of having Speechify, I have decided that it is not worth it. There are far too many glitches, especially for the price.

[@stevecoscia]

@@logicwithjulia Have you stopped using Speechify?

[@Tottorul]

​@@logicwithjulia Are you using an alternative? Sry didn't watch the video

[@moradelbusefi1690]

​@logicwithjulia I did watch the video, and I'm also curious what, if anything, you are using now.

[@logicwithjulia]

​@@moradelbusefi1690Yes, it has been over a year, and I still use Speechify Premium, but I am in the market for a better app. I pay $69.99 a year, which is about the same price as a Netflix subscription. The app has gone through several updates, which has made its usability much better, but it still has room for improvement. I will make an updated video soon.

[@vuyi4real]

I also wanted the monthly option. They claimed to have it when I spoke to them but the option is nowhere in the process. This whole billing thing they are doing just sounds so unethical

[@Spoiled_Rat]

it's out now, about a hundred a month O_O

[@logicwithjulia]

​@@Spoiled_Rat I've had Speechify Premium for over a year now. I pay $69.99 a year for the Speechify Premiums annual plan. Which plan are you referring to when you say it costs $100?

[@DarrenMichaels-bu9cp]

I can’t get it for less than £134.99 a year

[@logicwithjulia]

@@DarrenMichaels-bu9cp I pay $69.99 annually. As I mentioned in the video, there was a promotion going on when I had initially subscribed to Speechify Premium, so perhaps that is why I am still paying $69.99 a year. I just checked the updated pricing on their official website and the prices seem outrageous. I would keep an eye out for there promotions since sometimes you can get a premium plan that is much cheaper like I did. I will be making an updated video where I will further expand upon Speechify's pricing. Link to Speecify's Pricing speechify.com/pricing/

[@JPMartinezBlog]

The video I was looking for. Thanks.

[@Donwun]

Well done, good review!

[@bl4ckshravi159]

Very useful review. Thanks

[@pavelyt3476]

I'm a bit confused, you said that is $69.99/year without a possibility to pay it monthly but on their website it says that is $69.99/month or $239/year.

[@logicwithjulia]

I just checked the website now, it does state that Speechify Premium is $69.99 a month. However, I bought Speechify Premium back in March of this year and was charged a fee of $69.99. Strangely, I haven't been charged anything since then. That's why I was lead to believe it was a lump payment for the rest of the year.

[@sk45861]

Adobe got a big lawsuit from FTC for the same deceiving yearly charge in the name of monthly fees, speecify probably should be careful or they are not far away from a lawsuit too

[@Edward-bn2vw]

I don't want to hear Snoop Dog (or P Diddy), and I'm not paying £135 for it.

[@pbhello]

Thank you!

[@tonymleitao]

I'm confused, isn't it faster to read the page instead of paying for this app? Update: of course makes sense for people with difficulty reading

[@logicwithjulia]

@@tonymleitao Maybe for some, but not all, this app can be extremely helpful to those with difficulty reading, such as those with dyslexia, and can actually make the reading experience easier and more enjoyable.

[@martineastman9855]

I have ADHD and I have to do a LOT of reading for my job. Reading off a computer screen is not great and strains my eyes like no one's business. Not only is the subject material about as exciting as a bag of wet hair, but it's physically difficult to do for a significant amount of time. So a text-to-speech service like this makes life a LOT easier and more productive for someone like me.

[@JassRbabe]

@@martineastman9855 is this the app you use? 😊

[@hamzaiqbal8948]

So you're telling me within 5 months, the price has been increased to $139.99 ?

[@logicwithjulia]

Yes, the offer I originally signed up for was an annual payment of $69.99. I just checked Play Store, and it shows my next payment is scheduled for March 2024, for the same price I signed up for. The only reason I took the offer was because the price was reasonable, but now it has increased significantly and the app is having more glitches than ever. $139.99 is an outrageous price considering the quality. I will not be renewing my subscription; it's just not worth it.

[@CHICKOWNEDYOU]

Thank you for your honest opinion, what are you using now?@@logicwithjulia

[@lenardrunzer6653]

I more interested in what it sounds like. Unfortunately there was ver little of the software voice and a lot of you talking.

[@logicwithjulia]

I did give a preview of the voices at 3:55.

[@chocoagar9796]

​@@logicwithjuliaWhy would using speechify for your own book give you a copyright?

[@mimo1000mimo1000]

69.99$ and they doubled the price now

[@Chandan.ny4248]

You could have provide your reffral link on the description and in video. Win, win! benefit

[@logicwithjulia]

Thanks for the suggestion! That’s a great idea.Appreciate your input!

[@logicwithjulia]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonluckett]

Be warry of this app, there is monthly word limit that I hit after 2 days of operation.

[@Febi_Me]

how much words per month? thanks

[@logicwithjulia]

I have yet to encounter a word limit. Can you please elaborate?

[@123kctheboss]

It really doesn't seem to be worth the money

[@Thepapperman]

The scan pages dont work and the pdfs don't go threw man f thisbapp

[@faresbenallaya1404]

thank you soo much you are great

[@zackxmagz6343]

Nice video, how often do you use it personally?

[@logicwithjulia]

Daily

[@steven_abreu]

Do you know if you're able to download the soundbytes?

[@logicwithjulia]

No, I don't think you can. I just checked and I was unable to.

[@Justin-General]

Post the voices!!!!!?!?

[@logicwithjulia]

The voices are apart of Speechify Premium, I play a couple of the voices at 3:55. There are also other free voices on the app which I didn't show here.

[@Chandan.ny4248]

Insane pricing: Yearly pricing after 3 days trial then automatically $139.00/year which is $11.58/month Monthly $29.00/month3-day free trial

[@striketacticz0750]

That's why you gotta have money
