LeapFun AI FAQ: credits, pricing and commercial use
What is a credit?
1 credit = 1 character of standard voice generation. As a rule of thumb, 1,000 credits ≈ 1 minute of finished audio.
Do premium voices cost more?
Voices come in tiers with different rates: Turbo voices bill 0.5 credits per character; Expressive and Pro voices bill 1 credit per character, except Pro's multilingual voices, which bill 1 credit per UTF-8 byte (≈1 credit per English character, ≈3 per Chinese character); Ultra voices bill 1.5 credits per UTF-8 byte (≈1.5 credits per English character, ≈4.5 per Chinese character — a minute of Ultra audio costs about the same in any language). Voice Design costs a flat 2,500 credits per created voice, saved permanently to My Voices. The rate is always shown next to the voice before you generate — never after, and credits are charged per generation, not per download.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly plan credits reset at each billing cycle. Free-tier credits accumulate: your 3,000 sign-up credits don't expire, and active months add another 1,000.
Can I use the audio commercially?
Yes — all paid plans include commercial usage rights. The free tier is for personal and evaluation use.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel in the billing portal at any time — your plan stays active until the end of the current period.
Do you offer refunds?
Payments are final once charged, and unused time in the current period isn't refunded pro rata. Cancelling stops future renewals while you keep full access until the paid period ends. If you spot a billing error — like a duplicate charge — email support@leapfun.ai and we'll make it right.
What does the free plan include?
3,000 credits on sign-up plus 1,000 more in each active month, every voice tier (billed at the rates above), Voice Design at 2,500 credits per created voice, and one trial Audiobook Studio project. Voice cloning starts on the Starter plan. Free-tier audio is for personal and evaluation use; commercial rights start with Starter.
Which languages can LeapFun read?
It depends on the voice tier. Leap Ultra voices read 130+ languages and Leap Pro's multilingual voices read 100+ of them, detected automatically from your script. Leap Expressive cloned voices speak 23 languages and Leap Turbo covers 9 languages and accents. Project translation in Audiobook Studio is separate and covers 8 languages.
What is a director's note?
A one-line brief for the whole take: pick style, pace and accent from the presets, or write it in plain language, such as "warm documentary narrator, unhurried, British accent". Leap Ultra and Leap Pro multilingual voices follow it in any language they read. Inline emotion tags such as [whispers] handle single lines. Neither changes the words of your script.
What is the difference between Leap Pro and Leap Ultra?
They share the same 30 multilingual voices, the same emotion tags and the same director's note. Ultra gives the most nuanced delivery and reads 130+ languages, at 1.5 credits per UTF-8 byte. Pro runs those voices at the standard rate, 1 credit per UTF-8 byte, and reads 100+ languages; it also includes Mandarin and dialect voices billed per character. Draft on Pro, finish on Ultra.
