Text-to-speech and voice cloning. ⚠ play.ht no longer resolves to a website as of 7 September 2026.
Editor's take: “Wide voice library, good for podcast and content creators” — Sohail Akhtar
How we checked: we resolved the domain and fetched the page, and recorded what came back — source
The domain no longer serves a website, and its nameservers are now Meta's.
| What | What we found | Status |
|---|---|---|
| DNS | No address record publishedChecked three times through our own resolver and once through Cloudflare's public DNS-over-HTTPS endpoint. A single failed lookup is a network problem, not a finding. | Confirmed |
| Listing status | Reclassified to discontinued, which removes it from our free tools page and from /best | Changed since last check |
| Nameservers | b/c/d.ns.facebook.comThis tells us who operates the DNS and nothing more. It is consistent with an acquisition and we are not reporting one as fact, because we did not verify it. | Confirmed |
| The prices this listing carried | A free tier, plus paid plans at $31.20 and $99 per month — not purchasable at this address | Changed since last check |
Checked by the TheToolsVerse Verification Desk — by reading the vendor's own published pages, not by testing the product in an account. Play HT can change prices at any time without notice. The date above is the last time we looked; if it looks old, treat every figure here as unconfirmed and check Play HT directly before paying.

What we like
Limitations
Not purchasable at this address. play.ht publishes no address record, so the site does not load. We checked the domain three times through our own resolver and once through Cloudflare's public DNS, because a single failed lookup is a network problem rather than a finding. One detail worth reporting rather than interpreting: the domain's nameservers are now Meta's (b/c/d.ns.facebook.com). That tells us who operates the DNS and nothing more — we are not going to narrate an acquisition we did not verify. What it does mean for a reader is that the prices this listing carried — a free tier, and paid plans at $31.20 and $99 a month — cannot be bought here and should not be planned around. Checked 7 September 2026.
