A Peech alternative that stays on your phone
Peech is a polished read-aloud app with lots of voices, a Chrome extension and an AI summarizer. It is also a cloud service: you sign in, your documents and their audio are stored on Peech’s servers, and paid plans come with a listening allowance. Aloudy does the reading on your phone instead.
Why people look for a Peech alternative
Peech’s own terms describe paid plans as an allowance of minutes, characters or credits per billing period that doesn’t roll over. For long books and PDFs, that’s a meter you keep watching.
- Your documents on their servers. Peech’s privacy policy says it stores your content and the resulting audio and shares it with speech-synthesis providers. Aloudy has no server for your text.
- An account first. Peech needs sign-in with Apple, Google or email. Aloudy has no sign-up.
- Credits that run out. Peech plans come with a listening allowance per period. Aloudy Pro has no meter, and you can buy it once.
- Offline. Aloudy’s voices run on the device, so reading works in airplane mode.

Peech alternative: questions
Is Aloudy like Peech, but offline?
Yes. Aloudy reads PDFs, EPUB, documents, websites and scanned pages aloud like Peech, but its neural voices run on your phone, so it works in airplane mode and your files never leave the device.
Does Aloudy limit minutes or credits?
No. The free plan reads up to 500 characters per note; Aloudy Pro reads whole books with no limit on minutes.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up at all.
