How to Cut Your Voice AI Costs by 50% Without Losing Quality

The Hidden Tax of Character-Based Billing

Most developers don't realize that standard TTS pricing models charge you for non-audio characters. If you send an SSML tag like `<break time='2s'/>`, competitors charge you for those characters *and* potentially the duration. For high-volume applications like audiobooks or news reading, this 'whitespace tax' adds up to 20-30% of your bill.

Case Study: Scaling a Podcast App

We worked with a client generating 50 million characters per month. On ElevenLabs Enterprise, their bill was approx $6,000/mo. By migrating to Morvoice, specifically utilizing our 'Active Phoneme' billing (which ignores formatting and silence), their bill dropped to $3,200/mo immediately.
