Speechki
"Don't build a TTS tool, build a trust engine for AppSumo deals."
"Need for affordable, high-quality text-to-speech with unlimited usage for content creation (audiobooks, videos, podcasts)."
This is a graveyard, not a goldmine. The primary risk is association with a scam. Any clone must over-invest in trust signals and have a rock-solid, sustainable business model. API costs for TTS are high; unlimited LTD is financial suicide.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
High revenue ($159k) proves strong market demand for text-to-speech solutions.
Rating of 2.94 with 271 reviews is catastrophic. Company folded after ~5 months. This is a failure of business ethics, not product-market fit.
Company shutdown reveals unsustainable model. 'Unlimited' features on LTD were likely a cost death spiral. Founder exit scam pattern.
Competitors (Descript, Speechelo) are established but not giants. Market is fragmented with trust as the primary weakness.

Marketing Angle
The only text-to-speech tool with a legally-backed lifetime guarantee and transparent founder history.
Use this angle to position your product against the generic competitors. Focus on the specific pain points identified in the "Pain & Gaps" module.
The "Buggy Clone" Syndrome
- The company literally disappeared. Users lost access and money. Core complaint is fraud, not features.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"The market gap isn't a better TTS engine; it's a trustworthy vendor. Speechki proved demand exists, then destroyed all trust. Build a clone with radical transparency and escrow-based financials."
MVP Build
- Core TTS engine with standard/premium voices (proven need)
- Public founder commitment/escrow agreement (trust engine)
- Clear, sustainable usage caps (avoid cost death spiral)
MVP Drop
- Unlimited generations (costly and unsustainable)
- Complex ChatGPT plugins (distraction)
- Any feature that increases burn rate before proving unit economics
