whatmodel.sh · find the best text-to-speech models you can run

Best text-to-speech models under $50 per million characters

A leaderboard of the best text-to-speech models that cost $50 or less per million characters. Voxtral TTS (4B) is #1 right now, followed by OpenAudio S1 and Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS-Plus. Models are ranked by one score that combines 101 published benchmarks. Filter by your computer or budget to find the best one you can use.

138 models · scores combine 101 benchmarks · updated how it works · find a leaderboard · benchmark your machine
