What we know about Supertone API
Supertone API is a text-to-speech apis platform: expressive character voices (games, content, Korean/Japanese/English markets first, now 31 languages via Supertonic 3) on cheap credit-based subscriptions from $2.99/month; uniquely pairs the hosted API with the open OpenRAIL-M Supertonic model for on-device synthesis. This profile tracks what we have verified about Supertone API, each fact linked to a primary source and dated.
On pricing, Supertone API starts at $2.99 per month for its entry tier. That is the sticker rate: real production cost usually runs higher once you add a language model, a voice provider, and telephony minutes. Every Supertone API comparison on the site works from that all-in figure rather than the headline number, because the headline number is rarely what the invoice says.
On capabilities, Supertone API covers streaming audio output, instant voice cloning, emotion / style controls, and self-host / on-prem option, and does not offer realtime websocket api. Each of those is verified against Supertone API's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.
