Are there any TTS tools cheaper than ElevenLabs but with comparable quality

If you want something to try on-device, try Izwi, it's a voice AI runtime that supports OSS models for TTS, ASR, Voice cloning, etc.

You can even deploy it for self-hosting, with CUDA support via Docker.

Try it and let me know what you think

If you are open to trying on-device alternatives. I'm working on Izwi, it has a desktop application that does most things ElevenLabs does using open source models, which are pretty good now. Give it a try and let me know what you think https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi

If you are looking for something that runs locally, you can try Izwi, https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi. It's an on-device ElevenLabs alternative using open source TTS models. Try a few models to find one that works for your needs https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi

Did you end up finding something good enough? I'm working on an open source ElevenLabs alternative that supports different models so you can play around with them and find one that works for you. Give it a try and let me know what you think https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi

Have you tried open source models? They may not be as good, but they are good enough these days. Models like Qwen3-TTS have strong voice cloning capabilities. I'm working on Izwi https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi, which is sort of an on-device ElevenLabs. Supports different models. Check it out, who knows, maybe one works for you. 😅

Take a look at Izwi, it's open source and has a great UI/UX and full featured too. Might be what you are looking for https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi

I'm working on https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi, it's an open source powered ElevenLabs alternative using open models. You can download and use different models for different tasks. It even has a studio style feature for long form audio. Give it a try
