Offer Kokoro TTS as a cloud-based API service with tiered pricing based on usage volume or features like custom voices. This generates recurring revenue from developers and businesses integrating speech synthesis into their applications.
License the TTS technology to other companies for embedding into their products, such as call center software or educational tools. This provides upfront or ongoing licensing fees while expanding market reach through partnerships.
Provide a free tier with basic TTS features and limited usage, then charge for advanced options like higher-quality voices, faster speeds, or priority support. This attracts a broad user base and converts a portion to paid plans.
