I log into my lifetime account and get sent to their new, highly impressive, upgraded "Ultra-Realistic Studio" which - regrettably - is not available under the AppSumo plan. They left us early adopters on a "Standard Studio" with the less authentic, less realistic voices and none of their new features. I wish that AppSumo held these software startups to a higher standard by ensuring the audience that paid for their early days of development get to benefit from the current capabilities and upgrades. Play.ht throws it right in my face every time I login - 'here is our amazing top tier platform... but you can switch over to the old lower quality platform if you're unwilling to pay us more'. Super disappointed and disgusted.
We're not part of the ever growing business of Play.ht
I purchased this lifetime deal because I saw potential. Just like all the other early investors to this. We're all investors when we buy into this. However, they excluded us out of the deal when they came up with a totally separate portal now charge for the new features of Play.ht. I have no credits into the new service they created play.ai. It allows you to generate a voice clone, ai voice agents, ultra realistic voices and much more. I did reach out to them and confirm I was not part of this and will need a new monthly paid plan into this service. What I'm seen with appsumo, they are allowing us to invest into the basic idea of a platform and then dump us. This is not what I sign up for!
All the updated decent TTS voices are not included in the deal
All the updated TTS models don't seem to be included in the original appsumo deal. Pretty disappointing. Overall this appsumo 'deal' was a big loss for me. I can understand when startups fail but play.ht made it big and is doing well. So screwing over early adopters is sketchy business practices at best.
There are A LOT of voice options and in different languages, and accents. I love the UX. It's super easy to use. No clutter. And they are constantly improving which is awesome.
I have tried different providers. German is not so easy for the systems. Some tested systems were very cumbersome, often failed, and the voices sounded very unnatural. I then bought a code to test the system. The result is excellent. I can upload long texts and the system delivers good results rapidly. I then bought more codes. My wish: to be able to upload my own music for the background. I am also happy that a white-label player can be used. Keep it up!

Actually the best, even für German
I have tried different providers. German is not so easy for the systems. Some tested systems were very cumbersome, often failed, and the voices sounded very unnatural.
