This profile tracks what we have verified about Maya1, each fact linked to a primary source and dated.

Maya1 does not publish a public per-minute rate we have been able to verify, so the price figure here stays blank until we can confirm one. We would rather show nothing than a guessed number; if you have a current Maya1 quote, it is the fastest way for us to close that gap.

On capabilities, Maya1 covers streaming audio output, emotion / style controls, and self-host / on-prem option, and does not offer instant voice cloning. Each of those is verified against Maya1's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.

In total we track 12 verified facts for Maya1 today, and add coverage as the ingestion pass revisits it. Where a number is a vendor claim rather than our own measurement, it is labeled as such on the Maya1 fact sheet below, and each row links the primary source it came from so you can check our work.
