THE PRODUCTION CALCULATOR
Same brief.
A different way to make it.
Compare estimated production effort and cost for traditional studio recording and AI-assisted audio. Adjust the content volume and rates to suit your project; both workflows include human review.

Rates & assumptions
These are sample inputs, not our prices. Replace them with your own costs. Setup and licence fees apply once per project; production and review scale with audio volume.
Work hours, not calendar turnaround.

Cost = production hours × rate + review hours × rate + generation and licence fees where applicable. Taxes, translation, bespoke casting or voice creation, booking delays and approvals are not included.
AI cuts the wait. Not the craft.
A planning estimate, not a quote or a guaranteed saving. This compares suitable narration and repeat-content projects using an authorised voice. Human recordings for AI-training datasets still require artist-led sessions.
