Choose TTS if…
- TTS is primarily Python; FluidAudio is Swift.
- License: TTS is MPL-2.0, FluidAudio is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to TTS: deep-learning, glow-tts, hifigan, melgan.
- Also covers Model Training.
- TTS ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use TTS
- Last GitHub push was 694 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 16, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on TTS.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
Choose FluidAudio if…
- FluidAudio is primarily Swift; TTS is Python.
- License: FluidAudio is Apache-2.0, TTS is MPL-2.0.
- Tags unique to FluidAudio: ane, asr, audio, automatic-speech-recognition.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
When NOT to use FluidAudio
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
