The acquisition of popular text to speech platform PlayHT (PlayAI) by tech giant Meta has left many of their users scrambling for alternatives as the platform prepares to shut down completely by December 31, 2025. According to discussions on Reddit, users have already faced disruptions, with PlayHT’s API going offline weeks ahead of the announced sunset date.

We at Murf AI understand how frustrating these disruptions can be, especially for Developers, Content creators, Instructional designers, among others, with the sudden disruption to their workflows. Conversational AI platforms like Kore.ai have already recommended switching away from PlayHT, urging users to find reliable alternatives.
