What our research says

Altered

Altered is one of the few voice tools built around editing a performance you already recorded rather than generating one from scratch, and the licence attached to each tier is spelled out plainly. The catch is the two-axis meter: you can run out of morphing minutes or tokens independently, and the commercial licence only starts at the EUR 87 tier.

Pros

  • Speech-to-speech morphing keeps the original delivery instead of re-reading a script
  • Free tier plus a card-free week-long Creator trial
  • Desktop apps for Windows and Mac in addition to the browser studio
  • Token consumption rates per provider are published on the pricing page

Cons

  • API access, multi-seat and custom voice models are Enterprise-only
  • Two separate meters (minutes and tokens) make cost harder to forecast
  • Commercial licensing requires the Professional tier; lower tiers carry attribution or creator terms

Voicemod

Still the default voice changer for Discord and stream setups, and the free tier is usable — but the company has stopped publishing prices, which is an odd thing for a consumer app to do.

Pros

  • Operates at the system audio level, so any application picks it up without integration
  • Free tier is genuinely usable, just on a rotating subset of voices
  • VoiceLab allows custom voices rather than presets alone

Cons

  • No pricing page on the site — the price only appears after installing
  • Windows and macOS only
  • Free tier rotates its voice selection and caps you at one soundboard
  • Real-time processing adds noticeable CPU load on weaker machines
