ACX vs Voices by INaudio (formerly Findaway Voices)

ACX is tightly integrated with Audible and Amazon, offering royalty-share arrangements with narrators but typically requiring exclusivity for higher royalty rates (25-40%). Voices by INaudio (formerly Findaway Voices) distributes to over 40 retailers and libraries with no exclusivity requirement, and authors keep 80% of sales while the platform takes 20%. ACX's pricing is free, but earnings are tied to Audible's terms, whereas Voices by INaudio allows broader reach and higher author revenue share. The key difference is exclusivity versus wide distribution and author control over rights.

Pick ACX

Pick ACX if you want to leverage Audible's market dominance, are open to exclusivity for higher royalties, or prefer a royalty-share model with narrators to minimize upfront costs.

Pick Voices by INaudio (formerly Findaway Voices)

Pick Voices by INaudio if you prioritize wide distribution across multiple retailers and libraries, want to retain 80% of sales, and prefer no exclusivity so you can also sell directly or use other platforms.
