Summary

Overview

Murf AI is a voiceover platform. Its Studio lets you type or paste a script, pick a voice and sync the audio to slides or video, while its API serves developers building voice agents and apps. Murf also lists a voice changer, translation, dubbing and voice cloning.

Who it fits

It suits marketing, learning and product teams who need narration for explainers, training modules and ads without booking a studio. The Canva and Google Slides add-ons let non-technical users add voiceover where they already work.

What the plans include

The API has a free trial with $10 of credit, then pay-as-you-go pricing: $0.01 per 1,000 characters for the low-latency Falcon model and $0.03 for studio-quality speech. Studio and Dub subscriptions have their own plan tabs on the pricing page.

Limits and alternatives

Murf is built for speech, so music and sound effects come from other tools. ElevenLabs offers voices, cloning, dubbing and music, Fish Audio focuses on expressive voices and cloning, and Adobe Podcast cleans up recorded speech.
