How to pronounce "says"?
Is it "seis" or "sad"s?
When it is just "say" it is pronounced as "SEI".
But when you add an 's', it becomes 'sad's.
Is that correct?
Any difference between American and British English?
Thanks.

No, it is not. Why do you think it is?
No native English speaker says 'sads' for 'says'.

There are a few verbs where the present form with 's' differs in pronunciation from the present form without the 's'.
"say" /se?/
"says" /s?z/
"do" /du?/
"does" /d?z/
"have" /hæv/
"has" /hæz/
