Licensing for Commercial Use
When creating a commercial service, it is critically important to choose a TTS solution with the appropriate license.
Allowed for Commerce
- Google Cloud TTS — paid API, commercial use included
- Azure Speech Services — paid API, commerce allowed
- Amazon Polly — paid API, commercial use OK
- ElevenLabs — commercial plans available
- Piper TTS — MIT License, commerce fully allowed
Require Attention
- Coqui TTS — project closed, used MPL 2.0 (allowed commerce), but development has stopped
Recommendations for Commercial Project
To launch a commercial service on VDS without GPU, cloud APIs will be the optimal choice:
- Minimal load on your server
- Pay-as-you-go pricing model — pay only for usage
- Fully legal for commercial use
- High-quality speech synthesis
- Built-in support for word-level timing
- Reliability and scalability
Recommended for MVP
Google Cloud TTS or Amazon Polly — the best price-quality ratio at around $4 per million characters. This will allow you to quickly launch a prototype without significant investments in infrastructure.
Conclusion
The choice between a ready-made service and custom development depends on your goals. Ready-made solutions are suitable for a quick start and testing an idea, but creating your own service based on cloud APIs provides more flexibility, control over the process, and monetization opportunities. Key factors for success are the right choice of TTS with word-level timing and legally clean licensing for commercial use.
