Is sayit free?
Yes — sayit is free to try with no card and no signup, then a free account gives 5 minutes of scored practice a month, enough for a few short takes. 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 5 minutes of analysed speech every month — enough for a few short takes — 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 5 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 | 5 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
- 5 minutes a month is enough to try sayit and check a few sounds, not enough for regular practice — anyone practising most days hits the cap within the first week or so.
- 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 only practise a few sentences a week, the free plan covers that, 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.
