This profile tracks what we have verified about MegaTTS3, each fact linked to a primary source and dated.
MegaTTS3 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 MegaTTS3 quote, it is the fastest way for us to close that gap.
On capabilities, MegaTTS3 covers instant voice cloning, emotion / style controls, and self-host / on-prem option. Each of those is verified against MegaTTS3's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.
In total we track 11 verified facts for MegaTTS3 today, and add coverage as the ingestion pass revisits it.
