Are there any Text-to-Speech API with free credits?

Question

I am looking for a Text-to-speech API for low volume project. Google seems to offer $300 credits to start with but can't find what is their recurring monthly cost.Are there any APIs with generous credits that I can use for a experimental project.

FakeYou has a public API, but its limited to 10 seconds of speech at a time (and not super fast): https://fakeyou.com/

I haven't tinkered with TTS for some time, but I recall two options:1. Web Speech API, AFAIK it is supported by most browsers.2. Turning on text-to-speech in Android phone/tablet settings.
