Our take
Pick Descript if podcasters and video editors who already think in a script and will spend media hours. Pick Inworld if builders who will stay on On-Demand $0 pay-as-you-go (up to ~70 min TTS included), then buy Creator at $25/month when they want $25 in credits and TTS-2 at $20/1M chars instead of $25. Skip Descript if people who need a text-to-video model (Runway, Kling AI) or speech-only TTS (ElevenLabs).
