How the free version works
VocaRead is free to download, and you can import as many books as you like. Every book you import comes with 90 minutes of free listening, with every voice and every language, offline. That is enough to hear the first chapters and find the voice that suits the book.
When a book has used its 90 free minutes, Premium unlocks unlimited listening for all your books, with a single purchase on the App Store.

One purchase instead of a subscription
Many text-to-speech apps charge a monthly or yearly subscription, and a single audiobook often costs more than VocaRead Premium. Premium is paid once and covers every book you own today and every book you add later. No account, no renewal to remember.
Pricing questions
Is Premium really a one-time payment?
Yes. Premium is a single in-app purchase, not a subscription. Nothing renews and nothing is charged again.
Can I restore Premium on a new iPhone or on my iPad?
Yes. Premium is tied to your Apple Account: sign in with the same account and use Restore Purchases in the app.
Do the 90 free minutes reset?
The 90 minutes are counted per book. Each new book you import starts with its own 90 free minutes.
Why does the price differ between countries?
The App Store sets local prices and taxes for each country. The price shown in the App Store on your device is the one you pay.
