The Short Answer
ElevenLabs and Rask AI both dub videos into other languages, but they come at the job from different sides. ElevenLabs is a voice platform first: its Eleven v4 model, voice cloning, Dubbing Studio and API give creators and developers fine control over the voice itself, and the same account covers text-to-speech, sound effects, music and voice agents. Rask AI is a video localization platform first: it translates videos into many languages with emotion-preserving voice cloning, multi-speaker lip-sync, subtitle and script controls, glossaries and review workflows, and it prices by localization minute.
Choose ElevenLabs when the voice is the product, or when dubbing is one of several audio jobs. Choose Rask AI when your main job is turning a library of videos into many languages with lip-sync and a review process.
Prices come from ElevenLabs' and Rask AI's official pricing pages, checked on October 1, 2026. ElevenLabs pricing, ElevenLabs API pricing, Rask AI pricing.
How Each Product Approaches Dubbing
ElevenLabs offers automatic dubbing and Dubbing Studio, where editors can adjust transcripts, translations, timing and voices track by track. Its voices come from Eleven v4, which supports 90+ languages, and from Instant and Professional Voice Cloning. Managed dubbing through Productions is available on Enterprise. Outside dubbing, the same plan covers text-to-speech, Studio for long-form audio, sound effects, music, Scribe transcription and voice agents.
Rask AI's plans all include video translation into any language, emotion-preserving voice cloning and editing controls for the script, subtitles and voice. Higher plans add multi-speaker lip-sync, saved custom voices, glossaries and terminology management, a multi-language workflow, a review workflow, team workspaces and translation prompting. Rask's yearly plans keep unused minutes rather than losing them at month end, and extra minutes can be bought at any time. Rask also offers an AI dubbing API.
The difference is focus. ElevenLabs gives you the best voice engine and lets you build a dubbing workflow around it. Rask gives you the full localization workflow out of the box.
Plans and Pricing
Plan level | ElevenLabs (monthly) | What you get | Rask AI (annual billing) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | 10,000 credits a month | Free trial: $0 | 3 minutes |
Entry | Starter: $6 | 30,000 credits, commercial license, Dubbing Studio, Instant Voice Cloning | Creator: $28 a month, billed $329 a year ($39 monthly) | 300 localization minutes a year |
Creator | Creator: $22 ($11 first month) | 121,000 credits, Professional Voice Cloning | Creator Pro: $67 a month, billed $799 a year ($99 monthly) | 1,200 minutes a year, 3 saved custom voices, multi-speaker lip-sync, team workspace for up to 3 members |
Pro | Pro: $99 | 600,000 credits | Business: $167 a month, billed $1,999 a year ($249 monthly) | 3,000 minutes a year |
Team | Scale: $299; Business: $990 | 1.8M and 6M credits, 3 and 10 seats | Enterprise: custom | Custom minutes |
Extra usage | Additional credits on Creator and above | — | $3 per extra minute | — |
Rask's page currently advertises 35% off yearly Creator and Creator Pro plans and says prices are changing soon, so confirm current prices at checkout. Rask's minutes count video minutes localized, so a 10-minute video dubbed into five languages uses about 50 minutes.
Cost of Localizing a Video Library
Workload | Rask AI | ElevenLabs |
|---|---|---|
10 videos of 10 minutes into 3 languages (300 minutes) | Fits Creator's 300 minutes a year at $329 | Dubbing credits depend on length and languages; check the dubbing credit cost in your plan |
40 videos of 10 minutes into 3 languages (1,200 minutes) | Fits Creator Pro's 1,200 minutes at $799 a year | Creator or Pro plan, depending on credit usage |
100 videos of 10 minutes into 3 languages (3,000 minutes) | Fits Business's 3,000 minutes at $1,999 a year | Scale or Business plan; consider Enterprise managed dubbing |
Extra 100 minutes beyond the plan | 100 × $3 = $300 | Additional credits on Creator and above |
Voiceover-only narration in English (no lip-sync) | Possible, but you pay localization minutes | Eleven v4 API at $0.08 per 1K characters list, or about $4.32 per hour of speech |
Rask's minute-based pricing makes localization budgets easy to forecast. ElevenLabs is more economical when much of your work is text-to-speech rather than full video dubbing, because you pay per character instead of per localized minute.
Where ElevenLabs Wins
Voice quality and control. Eleven v4's 90+ languages and Professional Voice Cloning give the most control over how dubbed voices sound, which matters for premium content.
More than dubbing. Text-to-speech, audiobooks, sound effects, music, transcription and agents all live in the same account, so one subscription covers many audio jobs.
Developer platform. A mature API with real-time models (Flash v2.5 at about 75 ms, v4 Turbo at about 100 ms) suits teams building dubbing or voice features into their own products.
Low entry price. Dubbing Studio is available from the $6 Starter plan.
Where Rask AI Wins
End-to-end localization. Translation, voice cloning, multi-speaker lip-sync, subtitles and script editing come in one workflow designed for video.
Team review and terminology. Glossaries, a review workflow, multi-language workflows and team workspaces help agencies and L&D teams keep translations consistent and approved.
Predictable minutes. Yearly plans include a set number of localization minutes that do not expire at month end, and extra minutes cost $3.
Lip-sync for on-camera speakers. Multi-speaker lip-sync makes dubbed talking-head videos look natural, which matters for marketing and training content.
Quality Control in Dubbing
Automatic dubbing still needs human review. Names, product terms, jokes and idioms often need correcting, and timing must match the speaker. Rask builds review into the workflow: script, subtitle and voice controls are included on every plan, and higher plans add glossaries for terminology, translation prompting to steer style, a multi-language workflow and a review workflow for approvals. ElevenLabs' Dubbing Studio gives editors track-level control over transcripts, translations, timing and voices, which suits teams that want to fine-tune each line, while managed dubbing through Productions on Enterprise hands the work to ElevenLabs' team.
Rights, Consent and Voice Cloning
Both tools clone the original speakers' voices into the target languages. Before dubbing someone's voice, make sure you have their permission and the right to distribute the translated version, especially for interviews, customer testimonials and creator collaborations. ElevenLabs paid plans include a commercial license, and Rask positions its voice cloning as emotion-preserving for each speaker. Keep consent records with each project, because localized videos often travel to new markets with different expectations about synthetic voices.
Scaling and Integrations
For high-volume pipelines, both offer APIs. ElevenLabs' API covers dubbing alongside text-to-speech, speech-to-text and agents, with real-time models for interactive products. Rask offers an AI dubbing API, and its Enterprise plan provides custom minutes for organizations that need predictable pricing at scale. Teams that publish on YouTube can use dubbed audio for multi-language audio tracks, and both tools export subtitles to support viewers who prefer reading.
Choosing a Plan Size
Start from your yearly localized minutes, which are video minutes multiplied by target languages. A creator translating 25 ten-minute videos into one language needs about 250 minutes a year, which fits Rask's Creator plan at $329 a year. A training team localizing 60 ten-minute modules into two languages needs about 1,200 minutes, matching Creator Pro at $799 a year. An agency handling 3,000 minutes a year fits Business at $1,999, with extra minutes at $3 each.
On ElevenLabs, dubbing draws on the same credits as text-to-speech and other products, so a team that dubs and narrates can share one plan. Start with Creator at $22 a month for occasional dubbing, move to Pro at $99 for regular production, and consider Scale or Business when several people need seats. For large libraries that need human review, ask about managed dubbing on Enterprise.
Budget Example: A Course Creator
A course creator with 20 lessons of 8 minutes wants Spanish and Portuguese versions: 20 × 8 × 2 = 320 localized minutes. On Rask, that slightly exceeds Creator's 300 minutes, so the choice is Creator plus 20 extra minutes at $3 each ($389 total) or Creator Pro at $799 with room to grow. On ElevenLabs, the creator would test Dubbing Studio on the Creator plan and buy additional credits if needed, then compare the result's voice quality against Rask's lip-synced output.
Decision Framework
If your main requirement is… | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
Localizing a video library into many languages | Rask AI | Minute-based plans with lip-sync and review |
The best-sounding cloned voices | ElevenLabs | Eleven v4 and Professional Voice Cloning |
Dubbing plus text-to-speech, music and effects | ElevenLabs | One platform for many audio jobs |
Lip-synced talking-head videos | Rask AI | Multi-speaker lip-sync included |
Glossaries and approval workflows | Rask AI | Terminology and review features |
Building dubbing into an app | ElevenLabs | Mature API with real-time models |
A predictable yearly localization budget | Rask AI | Fixed yearly minutes and $3 overage |
How to Choose
Take one representative video, about five minutes with two speakers, and localize it into two languages with each tool. Compare voice similarity to the original speakers, lip-sync quality, how easy it is to correct a mistranslation, and the total time from upload to approved export. Then estimate your yearly volume in localized minutes and price it on both platforms.
Most localization agencies and training teams with large video libraries prefer Rask for its workflow and predictable minutes. Creators and product teams that care most about voice quality, or that also need narration, music and agents, usually prefer ElevenLabs. Check Rask's announced price change and ElevenLabs' list prices, as the v4 promotion ends on October 12, before committing to an annual plan.
Before signing an annual plan, run a pilot on three representative videos and confirm how many localized minutes they used, how long review took and whether lip-sync met your quality bar. Those three numbers turn the pricing tables above into a realistic yearly budget, and they make it easy to justify the choice to stakeholders.
Remember that both products keep evolving quickly. Rask has announced upcoming price changes, and ElevenLabs regularly adds models and dubbing features, so rerun the pilot each year before renewing. A short annual check keeps your localization budget aligned with current prices and quality.
Keep the pilot videos and scores so next year's comparison uses the same yardstick.

FAQ
ElevenLabs vs Rask AI FAQ
Is ElevenLabs or Rask AI better for AI dubbing?
ElevenLabs is the better default when dubbing must connect to a broader voice platform, reusable voices, and developer services. Rask AI is the better specialist when the main job is correcting, reviewing, lip-syncing, and delivering localized video repeatedly.
When should a team choose Rask AI instead of ElevenLabs?
Choose Rask AI when existing video or audio is the starting point and the team needs a localization-focused editor, multi-language projects, terminology controls, subtitles, lip-sync, reviewer handoffs, and app-to-API production built around that workflow.
Which product has the stronger voice-cloning offer?
ElevenLabs has the broader cloning system because it offers Instant and Professional paths and reuses voices across creative and API workflows. Rask AI's cloning is compelling when the clone belongs inside a translated-video project, but its cloned-output language boundary is narrower than its translation catalog.
Which API is better for localization automation?
ElevenLabs has the broader developer platform across speech and audio capabilities. Rask AI has the more focused localization API and can share plan minutes with the app, but buyers should verify plan entitlements and final-output limits; ElevenLabs buyers should verify which dubbing model the API exposes.
How should buyers compare ElevenLabs and Rask AI pricing?
Model completed localized outputs rather than headline plan prices. ElevenLabs mixes shared subscription credits with product-specific API meters, while Rask AI uses localization minutes that can multiply with target languages, lip-sync, extra usage, and workflow tier.
