Savings and costs per 1,000 credits are ToolColumn arithmetic from the prices and allowances above.
Yearly billing charges ten months' price for twelve months on every self-serve plan.
ElevenCreative app plans · App subscription · Primary · From $6/mo
Use the self-serve Creative subscription route for browser-based voice generation, Studio projects, dubbing, voice cloning, and included monthly credits.
ElevenCreative app subscription · Recommended · Bundled app · Included in subscription
Use the Creative app subscription for browser-based generation, Studio projects, dubbing, and voice cloning with included monthly credits.
Best for: Creators and content teams validating real voice output and production workflow
Boundary: Included credits and feature eligibility define the practical ceiling, while extra usage and commercial rights should be checked before publishing.
ElevenAPI usage billing · Direct API · Usage-based API
Use the API route when speech generation, transcription, dubbing, voice, or agent workflows need to run inside a product and be tracked by characters, minutes, requests, or model-specific units.
ElevenAPI billing · Direct API · Separate API meter
Use the API route for programmatic speech, transcription, dubbing, voice, and agent workflows governed by keys, SDKs, and usage meters.
Best for: Developers embedding voice or transcription into software
Boundary: API costs depend on characters, audio time, source minutes, generation type, model choice, and production traffic rather than only a creator seat.
Team workspace plans · Team workspace · From $299/mo
Use Scale or Business when several users need shared credits, seats, team collaboration, and workspace ownership for recurring production.
Team workspace · Team workspace · Shared subscription quota
Use team-oriented plans when multiple contributors need shared credits, seats, collaboration, and workspace ownership.
Best for: Teams producing recurring brand, client, training, or localization assets
Boundary: Verify seats, permissions, credits, professional clone limits, and review workflows before standardizing.
Enterprise sales · Enterprise sales · Custom
Use Enterprise when custom credits, seats, SSO, DPA/SLA assurance, BAAs, elevated concurrency, discounts, or priority support are required.
Enterprise sales · Enterprise sales · Enterprise only
Use Enterprise for custom credits, seats, SSO, DPA/SLA terms, BAAs, elevated concurrency, discounts, fully managed dubbing, or priority support.
Best for: Organizations with procurement, security, compliance, or scale requirements
Boundary: The decision is contractual and operational, not just a comparison against the public self-serve tiers.
API boundary: API requests draw on the same plan, but ElevenLabs bills them in US dollars per model ($0.08 or $0.04 per 1,000 characters of speech), so estimate API volume separately from app credits.

Notes
ElevenLabs sells one subscription with two meters. In the ElevenCreative app, text to speech uses one credit per character from the plan's monthly pool, so Starter's 30,000 credits come to about 30 minutes of speech. Through the API, the same plan is priced in US dollars at $0.08 per 1,000 characters on Eleven v4, v3 and v2 Multilingual and $0.04 on Eleven v4 Turbo, Flash, Turbo and v3 Conversational, and the ElevenAPI pricing page counts Starter's $6 as about 75,000 v4 characters. Decide which side of the account carries most of your volume before comparing plans.
ElevenLabs estimates about one minute of app text to speech per 1,000 credits. Credits are charged per generation request, so a line generated three times costs three times. ElevenLabs sometimes allows a limited number of free regenerations when the text and settings stay the same, and it caps the credits one request can use without publishing the cap.
Every app product draws on the same pool. Speech to text uses 330 credits a minute, Eleven Music 900 and automatic dubbing 2,000 a minute with a watermark or 3,000 without, so a minute of dubbing spends two to three times what a minute of speech does. Speech on Eleven v4, which every plan includes, carries no separate credit rate on the pricing page; ElevenLabs v4 vs v3 compares it with v3.
Take an illustrative workload: a weekly 10-minute narration is about 40 minutes a month, and one retake for every four lines brings it to about 50 minutes, or 50,000 credits. ElevenLabs' plan comparison prices an extra minute of app text to speech at about $0.20 on Starter and $0.18 on Creator. For new accounts that extra usage comes from prepaid top-ups, with a $5 minimum and a 12-month expiry, so the 50-minute month means buying at least $5 of top-up and carrying the remainder forward.
Speech per month | Starter ($6, about 30 min included) | Creator ($22, about 121 min included) |
|---|---|---|
50 min | $6 + 20 × $0.20 = $10.00 | $22.00 |
110 min | $6 + 80 × $0.20 = $22.00 | $22.00 |
150 min | $6 + 120 × $0.20 = $30.00 | $22 + 29 × $0.18 = $27.22 |
In ToolColumn's arithmetic, volume alone does not justify Creator below about 110 minutes a month. Uneven months shift the line, because unused paid credits roll over for up to two months, to a balance of three times the monthly quota, while downgrading or cancelling forfeits them at the end of the billing cycle.
Instant Voice Cloning already comes with Starter. Creator is the first plan with a Professional Voice Clone. ElevenLabs' voice cloning guide says an instant clone can work from less than two minutes of audio, while a professional clone fine-tunes the model on about 30 minutes of high-quality recording; both go through a voice verification step.
Pro ($99, 600,000 credits) is the first plan with WAV and 44.1 kHz PCM output, and it allows 10 concurrent requests against Creator's 5. By the same arithmetic, Pro costs less than Creator plus extra minutes only past about 550 minutes a month.
Scale is the first plan with more than one seat, so move up to it for seats and team collaboration rather than for volume.
Creator's $11 price covers the first month only. In ToolColumn's arithmetic, a year of Creator on monthly billing costs $253 ($11 plus eleven months at $22), $33 more than the yearly plan, which ElevenLabs lists at $18.33 a month.
The dollar rate is the same on every plan, so a higher plan includes more API usage rather than a lower rate. Beyond speech, Scribe v2 transcription costs $0.22 an hour and automatic dubbing $0.33 a minute with a watermark.
When the plan's usage runs out, new self-serve accounts continue on prepaid pay-as-you-go top-ups, which replaced overage billing for them. With automatic top-up off, requests pause when the balance reaches zero. ElevenLabs API pricing vs app plans works through when a bigger plan or top-ups cost less.
According to the ElevenLabs help center, every paid plan includes a commercial license, except for content from beta features. The license for audio made during a paid subscription remains after the subscription ends, so cancelling does not affect what you already published. Audio made before you subscribed, or after you return to Free, cannot be used commercially.
Watchouts
The API page also uses characters, audio time, source minutes, call minutes, and generation-specific meters, so app usage and product usage need separate estimates.
Recent updates
Text to Speech and Speech to Text requests priced below one credit are now charged one credit.
Minimum chargeVerified
Business plans on current pricing now pay the same image and video credit rate as other self-serve plans, about 17% fewer credits per image and per video second than before.
ElevenLabs introduced Eleven Realtime, a model family for ElevenAgents voice agents rolling out gradually across workspaces.
Each model is a complete agent configuration that covers the LLM, Speech to Text and Text to Speech: v1 Mini is the default and the fastest and cheapest, and v1 Max reasons before it answers. It works with existing OpenAI Realtime API clients. The same release added Realtime Translation for enterprise workspaces and a Video to Music API.

ElevenLabs is an AI audio platform for text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, transcription, conversational agents, music and sound effects, used by creators, media teams and developers. Its Eleven v4 model covers 90+ languages, and the platform offers instant and professional voice cloning with consent checks, plus Scribe v2 transcription at $0.22 an hour. App plans are credit-based: Free includes 10,000 credits a month for personal use; Starter costs $6 for 30,000 credits; Creator costs $22, with the first month at $11, for 121,000 credits; Pro costs $99 for 600,000; Scale costs $299 for 1.8 million with three seats; and Business costs $990 for 6 million with ten seats. Paid plans include commercial use. On the API, Eleven v4 costs $0.08 per 1,000 characters, v4 Turbo $0.04, and the low-latency Flash v2.5 costs $0.04 at about 75 ms. The caveats are credit planning across features and the need for written consent before cloning any voice.
FAQ
Yes. Free includes 10,000 credits a month, about 10 minutes of text to speech, but no commercial license, and anything published from it must credit "elevenlabs.io" or "11.ai" in the title.
In US dollars rather than credits: text to speech per character ($0.08 or $0.04 per 1,000 depending on the model), speech to text per hour of audio and dubbing per source minute. The rate is the same on every plan; a higher plan includes more usage.
Paid plans include commercial usage rights, while free access is positioned for personal use. Buyers should still confirm the current plan terms and any voice-rights obligations before publishing monetized work.
Yes. ElevenLabs supports Instant Voice Cloning and Professional Voice Cloning, with consent and verification steps described in its official voice-cloning documentation and safety materials.
No. ElevenLabs includes a no-code creative workspace and official API documentation with Python and TypeScript SDKs for product and developer workflows.
