This is still four times more expensive than Cartesia (https://cartesia.ai/) and three times more expensive than OpenAI's TTS API.

They are all expensive but I'm not so sure about margins.

Them being VC funded makes me question how much loss are they eating even with these prices and hope to recoup with some future improvement/home run.
