Pricing Breakdown

• Free: 10,000 characters/month (~10 minutes of audio), 3 custom voices, non-commercial
• Starter ($5/mo): 30,000 characters, 10 custom voices, commercial use
• Creator ($22/mo): 100,000 characters, 30 custom voices, Professional Voice Cloning
• Pro ($99/mo): 500,000 characters, 160 custom voices, highest quality

Is the Free Tier Enough?

10,000 characters per month is roughly 10 minutes of speech — that's about one short YouTube video or podcast intro. For occasional use like voicing a social media clip, narrating a presentation, or experimenting with AI voices, it's plenty. For regular content creation, you'll hit the limit fast.

The free tier includes access to all of ElevenLabs' pre-made voices and basic text-to-speech. You lose Professional Voice Cloning and the ability to create many custom voices.

• PlayHT — similar quality, free tier available, competitive pricing
• Murf AI — 120+ voices, free trial, good for business narration
• Speechify — text-to-speech reader, free Chrome extension
• Amazon Polly — pay-per-use, very cheap for high volume ($4 per million characters)
• Google Cloud TTS — 4 million chars free/month with Google Cloud account
• Coqui TTS (open source) — free, run locally, requires technical setup

What Happens After Canceling

• Generated audio files stay in your history (but may be cleared eventually)
• Downloaded audio files are yours permanently
• Custom voices beyond the free tier limit may be deleted
• Unused characters do not roll over or get refunded
