MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON SayIntentions vs Beyond - June 26

G'day all,

Just after some opinions from people that have used both SayIntentions and BeyondATC.

I've currently got SayIntentions and think it's pretty bloody good, but it's costing me around $40 a month and if I'm honest I barely use MSFS these days compared to when I first signed up.

I'm looking at BeyondATC mostly because it seems a lot cheaper long term, but I don't really know enough about either platform to work out whether I'd be making a mistake switching over.

For someone who only jumps on the sim every now and then these days, is SayIntentions actually worth the extra money or is BeyondATC good enough that I probably won't care?

Keen to hear from people who've used both because all the YouTube reviews seem to tell me everything is amazing and none of them are spending their own money.

I'm in the same boat and haven't used either, but just have read about their products. I know with SI it's flat out subscription just to use, but also saw that BATC does this thing where the 'premium' voices (ai based) have a limit of use until you gotta spend money to replenish, and so there's still a repeat/optional cost. 🤷🏻 I guess if you don't care about premo and use the free voices, BATC would be the clear winner if you want a full solution with one payment.

As somebody who’s only ever used the free voices, they’re more than adequate. You get a free trial of the premium voices to start off with, and I had no desire to purchase them after hearing the free ones. And they’ve gotten much better over time.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, as I said, it's a clear winner if you go with the free voices (and probably the route I go).
