Buy from your billing page

Phase 1 beta is closed and free while we get the first wave of audiobooks shipped. When billing turns on, beta participants get grandfathered into the first published rate. Credit packs launch alongside paid billing — not available during free beta.

What you're not paying for

✗ Per-minute narrator fees

Hiring a narrator on ACX runs $200–$400 per finished hour. A 10-hour audiobook is $2,000–$4,000 before you sell a single copy.

✗ A studio booking

Recording, editing, mastering — all gone. Drop a manuscript or type a premise, render, export .m4b, upload to Audible. Same day.

✗ Per-book fees

Ship as many audiobooks as your monthly quota covers. The $5 / month covers all of them — credit packs only kick in if you run past the included TTS budget.

✗ Royalty share

Audible / ACX / Kindle take their platform cut on sales regardless of how the audio was produced. Graphene Studio doesn’t take a second cut on top — what you sell is yours.

Closed beta has room for 5–10 authors right now.
