Gradium TTS vs Hopper Qwen3-TTS Fastest TTS APIs, by speed tierSpeko's board plots it at 147 ms time to first audio from US East.
Speko rates its naturalness at 1,406 Elo from blind A/B votes on phone-agent lines (39th highest of the 43 models Speko rates).
Speko's pronunciation test on numbers, dates and currency scores it 0.29 on a 0-to-1 scale (17th highest of the 30 models Speko scores). This is the accuracy measure used here; Coval's word error rate separates models too little to compare them.
Speko lists about $5.67. List prices, as each source prints them.
The benchmarks measure this model through Hopper's API, so the latency above is Hopper's. The creator, Alibaba (Qwen), is inferred from the model name.
