## PlayHT / PlayAI

- `compute/playht-playai` | dead | evidence measured | binding none | category inference API
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-12-07
- url https://play.ht/pricing/
- free tier: No offer: the service is gone. Meta acquired the PlayAI team in July 2025 and the platform was switched off at the end of 2025. Measured on 2026-10-22: the resolver returns the name play.ht with no address record, and api.play.ht returns 'Non-existent domain'. | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none-withdrawn
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous
- interface: rest
- limits note: nothing binds because nothing answers: no credential can be issued and no endpoint resolves, so any tutorial that still recommends PlayHT for a free TTS tier sends its reader to a dead domain.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: nothing composes with a dead provider.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: These were inference credits, not general compute, and they are no longer purchasable. The measured evidence is the DNS answer, which is a resolver observation made on this machine on 2026-10-22 and not a vendor statement. The DNS check and the archived 522 carry the finding. PlayHT remains recommended in older articles and course material, which is why the record is worth its space.
