- Can I buy Pro right now?
- Yes. Choose Subscribe on the Pro plan: $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year, in US dollars, paid through Stripe. Today Pro gives you the larger monthly allowance, better voices, priority handling and requesting several articles at once. Custom podcast playlists and playlist sharing are coming by October 30, 2026; if they aren't live by then, tell us and we'll refund everything you've paid. Pro isn't available to residents of Quebec.
- Can I cancel or get a refund?
- You can cancel at any time with the Manage subscription link in your receipt emails, or the link below, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. A yearly plan gets a full refund if you ask within 14 days of paying; we don't refund part of a month. Before a yearly plan renews, we'll email you a reminder, and if you cancel after it has renewed, we refund the unused part of that year. There's no free trial: the Free plan is the way to try toaudio first. To ask for a refund, email team@toaudio.app from the address you paid with. Manage your subscription
- Is it really free?
- Yes. While we're in beta, requesting and listening are free: up to 1,000,000 characters a month per X account or email address (about 30 long articles), each article up to 60,000 characters, no card, no account. After the beta, each Free article can be up to 40,000 characters. If you reach your monthly limit or an article is too long, we'll let you know. We charge for Pro rather than run ads or sell data.
- What does "1 million characters" actually mean?
- A character is one letter, digit, space or punctuation mark we read aloud. A long X Article is about 30,000 characters and about 30 minutes of audio. So Free covers about 30 of them a month: roughly 15 hours, or half an hour of listening a day. Pro's 10 million covers about 300, around 150 hours: five hours a day. Shorter articles go further and longer ones use more; the exact limit is the character count.
- How long does a request take?
- While we're in beta, a request usually takes a few hours and sometimes up to a day. There's no fixed guarantee yet.
- Is my reply public?
- Yes. It's a normal reply on X, so anyone can see it, and so is our reply with the link. You can delete your reply afterwards; the listening link keeps working.
- How are authors credited, and how can they request removal?
- We read public articles in a synthetic voice. For requests on X, our reply sits under the article. Every listening page links back to the original. Authors can ask us to remove a reading at any time, and we aim to do that within 24 hours. How removal works
- Do friends need Pro to listen to my playlist?
- No. Custom podcast playlists are coming to Pro by October 30, 2026. Pro members will create and share them, and anyone with the shared link will be able to listen without buying Pro or signing in to toaudio.
- How is a playlist different from a listening link?
- Today, you can share the listening link for one reading. A Pro playlist, coming by October 30, 2026, will bring several readings together under one shareable link. Creating playlists is a Pro benefit; listening through a shared link is open to everyone.
- Can I use any website or choose another language?
- Other websites work too: paste a public article's link on our home page and, if we can read it, we'll email you the listening link. Paywalled pages and PDFs aren't supported. The voice is English. Full-thread readings and choosing a language are not offered yet. Paste a link
- My content was turned into audio. How do I request removal?
- Email team@toaudio.app or message @toaudioapp on X to request a takedown. You do not need to buy any plan to make a removal request. How removal works
