Mistral Voxtral TTS
Voxtral TTS from Paris-based Mistral AI, pay-as-you-go per character with zero-shot voice cloning and EU hosting by default.
Pricing is simple: $16 per million output characters with input free, close to Polly Neural and OpenAI's tts-1, plus a rate-limited free tier. Cloning works from a short prompt across 9 languages, with about 90 ms to first audio. The published weights carry a non-commercial CC BY-NC licence, so unlike Kokoro or Chatterbox it cannot be self-hosted commercially without a licence from Mistral.
