Honest pricing
One price. Speech included. No add-ons, ever.
Start free and keep talking forever. Speech and the core board are always free and never switched off, even if a plan lapses. There is always a one-off way to own Sayella outright, so families, schools and charities are never locked out.
Four ways in, one product

What you actually pay
The leading apps cost between roughly £195 and £550, and some now charge a recurring fee for premium voices. Sayella Lifetime is £189, with speech always included and never held behind a renewal.

Funding, VAT relief and licensing
VAT relief at checkout
AAC software for a disabled person may qualify for UK VAT relief. Eligible disabled individuals and the charities that support them can declare relief at checkout, so the price you see can be the price you pay.
Grant and charity funded
Because Lifetime is a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, it fits the funding rules charities, schools and many NHS-adjacent funders work within. There is always a non-subscription route in.
Schools and clinics
Buy without a personal subscription, manage licences for a caseload or classroom, and give therapists free supervisor accounts. See licensing for schools and SLT teams.
Pricing and funding questions
Cancel any time and your voice stays with you. A lapsed plan degrades to local-only on your device. It never goes silent.
