Audio & voice · alternatives
The common complaint with Maastr is not knowing what it costs: its public pricing page showed no plans or prices when fetched. It also requires an account, and the site says it is tuned for loud music.
Our catalog lists two alternatives, both with a free plan and a stated price. Suno, a music generator, starts at $8 per month (Pro). ElevenLabs, an audio platform covering speech, dubbing and music, starts at $6 per month (Starter). Neither is described in our data as a mastering service, so they only fit if your goal is wider audio work.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
Taken from the documented limitations in our Maastr profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maastr (this page) | Not published | Yes | Web | The public pricing page showed no plans or prices when fetched, so the cost of the service is unknown. |
| ElevenLabs | $6/mo (Starter (Creative)) | Yes | Web, API | Everything draws from one monthly credit pool with per-product costs that differ widely (1 credit per TTS character vs 900 per music minute), so budgets need planning. |
| Suno | $8/mo (Pro) | Yes | Web, Mobile | Free plan has no commercial use, no downloads, no stem separation, and daily credit limit (50 credits per day). |
