What “no card” means for you
Many tools say “free trial” and then ask for your card at the first step. Clonylab does not. To start, you give an email address and choose a password, and you confirm the address from the email we send. There is no card field, no automatic charge and no trial that turns into a plan.
| Stage | What you give | Card? |
|---|---|---|
| Creating an account | Email and password | No |
| Using the free plan | Nothing more | No |
| Cloning up to 3 voices | A recording, in your browser | No |
| Buying Pro or Team | Payment details, at checkout | Yes |
Why you still need an account
An account is required, and we say so up front. It is how Clonylab knows your plan and your allowance, and it lets you sign in on the same browser later. The account stores your email, a password hash and your subscription status. Your scripts, audio and cloned voices stay in your browser.
- It is free to create.
- It is needed to make voice-overs, even on the free plan.
- You can delete it from the account page whenever you like.
The Privacy policy lists everything we store.

Which emails to expect
Because you create an account, Clonylab sends a few emails, and not many. They come from the address no-reply@clonylab.com.
| When | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm your email | When you sign up | A link that confirms your address |
| Reset your password | If you ask for it | A link to choose a new password |
| Team invite | If a Team owner invites you | A link to join the team |
| Receipts and plan notices | If you buy a plan | From our payment provider |
We keep a log of the emails we send you (address and subject, not the text), as the Privacy policy says.
Leaving without a trace
If you try Clonylab and it is not for you, you can leave. Delete your account from the account page, and your device details and support chats go with it. You can also clear your history in the Studio, and clear your browser’s site data to remove cloned voices and files.
- Delete your account from the account page.
- Clear your History in the Studio.
- Clear site data for clonylab.com in your browser settings.
You never gave us a card, so there is no payment to cancel.
Common worries about “no card”
| Worry | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will you charge me later? | No. We have no card, so nothing can be charged until you buy a plan |
| Does the free plan expire? | No. It has a one-time allowance of 300 characters, not an end date |
| Will my files disappear? | They stay in your browser until you clear your site data |
| Is my script shared with anyone? | No. It is processed in your browser and is not uploaded |
| Do I have to upgrade to download? | No. MP3 and WAV downloads are included free |
Free or paid: a quick decision
- Stay free if you are testing voices or making one short clip.
- Go Pro if you make voice-overs regularly or need long scripts.
- Go Team if you and up to five other people need it.
The unlimited text to speech page has the numbers, and text to speech for teams covers the group plan.

Your first day, with no card

|---|---|---|
| Minute 1 | Create an account and confirm your email | That nothing asks for a card |
| Minute 5 | Listen to a few voices in the Studio | Which voices you like |
| Minute 10 | Generate one short script | How it sounds and how fast your computer is |
