Speechy Review: SpokenVow vs Speechy
Speechy is one of the most credible AI speech tools on the market, built by real speechwriters with strong press coverage and a proven track record. This comparison exists for people genuinely choosing between the two -- not to dismiss a good product.
Both tools will get you a real draft
Speechy is not a gimmick
Speechy was founded by professional speechwriters who have written hundreds of real speeches. Their AI tool is built on that professional experience. The question set is long because it is thorough, not because of poor design. If you want the highest-credentialed brand in AI speech tools, Speechy has that.
The differences are real but specific
The gap between these two products is not about quality of writing. It is about how you get your material out of your head and into a draft, how much you pay before seeing anything, and whether the cultural framing of the tool fits your context. Those are the things worth comparing.

Key differences worth knowing
Paying before you see anything
Speechy charges $65 before generating a single word. That is a real commitment when you have no idea what the output will look like. SpokenVow shows you what you are paying for, and pricing is transparent from the start.
A long form vs a conversation
Speechy asks 40-50 questions in a sequential form. That is a deliberate choice by professional speechwriters who know what details matter. But it is also 45-60 minutes of homework, and form abandonment is real. SpokenVow interviews you conversationally -- a back-and-forth that surfaces the same details through dialogue rather than a questionnaire.
UK brand vs US product
Speechy was founded by UK speechwriters and has strong UK press coverage (Times, Forbes UK, Guardian). The product works fine for US buyers, but the framing, phrasing, and cultural references skew British. SpokenVow is built specifically for a US audience -- the speech styles, examples, and defaults all reflect how American wedding toasts actually sound.
Similar output quality ceiling
Both tools are generating AI drafts that then need your review and light editing. Speechy has a longer track record and more Trustpilot reviews (120+, averaging 5 stars). SpokenVow is newer but built with the same goal: a draft that sounds like the speaker, not like a template. The ceiling is roughly the same -- the difference is in how you get there.
Who should use which
- You want the most professionally credentialed AI speech brand available and brand name matters to you
- You are comfortable paying $65 upfront without a preview of the output
- You do not mind spending 45-60 minutes on a detailed question form -- and you appreciate that thoroughness
- You are based in the UK or want a tool with strong UK press validation (NYT, Forbes, Times)
- You plan to use the human-written bespoke service and want everything in one place
- You are based in the US and want a product built for how American wedding speeches actually sound
- You want to know what you are paying before you commit -- no blind purchases
- A 45-60 minute form sounds like homework; you would rather answer questions in a guided conversation
- You want to start quickly and get something real without clearing an hour in your calendar
- You want an in-app editor with a polish mode to refine your draft without starting over
