Is sayit free?
Yes — sayit is free to try with no card and no signup, then a free account gives about 30 minutes of scored practice a month. Paid plans raise the limit.
Yes, sayit is free. You can open it in your browser right now, record yourself reading a sentence, and get a real per-sound score with no account and no card — that's one scored guest take, per device. Create a free account afterward and you get about 30 minutes of analysed speech every month, on the house, resetting at the start of each calendar month, for as long as you want to stay on it.
30-second version: No card to start. One scored take as a guest, then a free account with ~30 min/month of scoring, real per-sound feedback, and every core drill. Paid plans (Pro $9/mo, Max $13.50/mo) raise the monthly time and add custom passages, book import, AI conversation, and full IELTS/TOEFL practice — nobody is charged without choosing to upgrade.
What "free" actually includes
The free tier isn't a crippled demo. Read-aloud practice with instant scoring, and every pronunciation drill — pacing, vowels, minimal pairs — are open on every tier, free included. You get real IPA on every word and never see an ad, on any plan. What free doesn't include: generating a custom passage on any topic you type, importing your own book or article to read aloud, AI conversation practice, and the full IELTS/TOEFL exam mode. Those four sit behind Pro or Max.
| Free | Pro | Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly analysis time | ~30 min | 10 hours | 25 hours |
| Read-aloud scoring + drills | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Custom passages, book import, AI conversation, full exam mode | No | Yes | Yes |
| Price | $0 | $9/mo | $13.50/mo |
Where the free plan is genuinely good
- No card, no trial countdown, no "upgrade to see your result" wall — the score you get on your first take is the real one.
- Real per-phoneme feedback with target IPA, not a watered-down preview of the paid feedback.
- All four practice drills (pacing, vowel contrasts, minimal pairs) are unlocked, not gated behind a paywall.
- It renews every month automatically — there's no expiring trial clock to race.
Where it falls short
- 30 minutes a month is enough to practise regularly, not enough for daily, intensive prep — heavy users tend to hit the cap before the month is out.
- You can't generate a passage on a topic you choose, or import your own reading material, until you upgrade.
- Full IELTS and TOEFL exam-format practice with a band estimate is a paid feature.
- There's no human involved at any tier — sayit is an AI coach, not a tutor, and it says so plainly.
Who should stay on Free, and who should upgrade
If you're checking whether sayit is worth your time, or you practise a few sentences a week, the free plan is not a taste — it's the product, indefinitely. If you're preparing for an exam on a deadline, want to read your own material aloud, or you're bumping into the monthly cap regularly, Pro's 10 hours a month is the natural next step, and Max's 25 hours suits daily, intensive practice.
