Speechify vs Hume
Hume's EVI is an expressive, empathic speech-to-speech model priced $0.04–0.07/min — but that excludes the LLM (billed separately by your provider) and the lowest rates need a large plan. Speechify is truly all-in from $0.07/min with the LLM included, plus deterministic workflows, tool calling, and compliance — and 60 free minutes a month versus Hume's 5.

The verdict
Hume is compelling if emotionally expressive, empathic speech is your top priority and you'll wire up the LLM and platform around it. Speechify is the better fit when you want an all-in rate with the LLM included and a complete production platform — workflows, integrations, and compliance.
