What are the true alternatives to elevenlabs in terms of quality?

Many tools have seen major updates (including PlayHt). And I couldn't find updated and comprehensive information on this, so decided to post here.

Based on your experience, which platforms are the closest in terms of performance? Play ht has improved a lot but still far behind eleven. For example, I made it pronounce "50.1 MP camera that shoots at ___ FPS".

Play.HT pronounced it as "FIVE ZERO DOT One EMP camera that shoots at ____ FPeez". However it does non-technical voices really well. In fact it is better than eleven to express emotion. And can manage speed changes (you can set voice speed).

In your experience, which are the top solutions that can compete with Eleven? Especially those that are intelligent above to pronounce based on context (like recognizing that FPS is an abbreviation since we are talking about cameras).

Or is there still no real competition to EleveLabs?

I love ElevenLabs but I mainly use it for long-form content, for which it can be expensive. So just trying to find another tool that I can use for less important videos.
