The money, straight.
Being able to listen to what you read is a matter of accessibility, and accessibility should not ask for a card. So the part that matters is free, and it has no counter.

No free trial, on purpose: the three-document perch is the trial, and it neither expires nor starts charging later. Prices shown are the Spanish ones; your store will show yours.
You wind it up inside the app, in the back room.
The paywall lives on mobile: on iPhone, on iPad, and on Android. On the computer, everything is open.
What the others charge.
Cloud voice apps pay for servers every time you press play, so they charge you by the hour or by the character. Yappy synthesises on your device: its cost per listen is zero, which is why it can leave listening free.
