ScriptGrain vs Rytr
ScriptGrain's free tier shows you your own measured voice before you pay a penny. Rytr is the budget option: cheap generation with tone presets, and tone matching excluded from its free plan.
The actual difference
Rytr's free plan gives you tone presets, not your tone; tone matching is explicitly excluded from it. ScriptGrain's free tier does the opposite: the voice profile is the free part, and generation is what you pay for.
Rytr is the cheapest way to generate text. It is not a way to sound like yourself unless you pay, and even then it is one tone match.
