Verdicts

PlayHT Voice Cloning API

The API reference is still readable at docs.play.ht, useful for mapping old integrations. Shut down, api.play.ht doesn't resolve.

Resemble AI Voice Cloning API

Rapid clones from 10 seconds of audio, ready in under a minute. Cloning API only on Business ($1,000 a month) and Enterprise.

Before you call either

PlayHT Voice Cloning API

  1. Don't call api.play.ht. The host doesn't resolve
  2. Ignore docs.play.ht for new work. It documents an API that no longer exists
  3. Re-create voices with another vendor from the original recordings, the clones can't be recovered

Resemble AI Voice Cloning API

  1. Create the voice, upload recordings or pass dataset_url, then call /build. Nothing trains until you do
  2. Set callback_uri rather than polling for status to reach finished
  3. Expect a rapid clone. Since 2026-06-30 API-created voices default to rapid, and create-voice has no field to pick another type
  4. Upgrade any voice on a pre-Ultra model before synthesis, since those voices can no longer generate audio
  5. Check success in every response body, log the request ID, and stay under 40 requests a second per token with your own backoff
