Murf API

Pay-as-you-go TTS API from Murf with the low-latency Falcon 2 model and regional endpoints in 11 regions, including Germany and the UK.

Falcon 2 runs in isolated regional environments, so teams can call the eu-central endpoint rather than the global router to keep data in the EU. At $10 per million characters it is among the cheaper commercial real-time options, while the studio-quality Gen 2 model costs $30. API usage comes from a prepaid balance separate from Murf Studio subscriptions, and no public self-serve DPA was found despite claims of GDPR compliance.
