ElevenLabs pricing and real costs
Every ElevenLabs text to speech plan (ElevenCreative), how many credits each one includes, and the cheapest plan for the audio you make each month.
Cost calculator
06,000,000
Estimated cost
The calculator compares the ElevenCreative plans, the default tab on ElevenLabs' pricing page, by monthly credits. On the highest quality models 1 text character uses 1 credit, and ElevenLabs puts one minute of audio at about 1,000 characters. Every product, from text to speech to music and dubbing, draws from the same credits. ElevenLabs only gives approximate prices for extra minutes, so the calculator does not add them. Enterprise is custom.

Questions people ask
How much does ElevenLabs cost?
Free is $0 with 10,000 credits a month. Starter is $6/month ($5/month billed yearly) for 30,000 credits, Creator $22/month ($18.33 yearly) for 121,000, Pro $99/month ($82.50 yearly) for 600,000, Scale $299/month ($249.17 yearly) for 1,800,000 and Business $990/month ($825 yearly) for 6,000,000. Enterprise is custom.
How many credits does text to speech use?
On the highest quality models 1 text character costs 1 credit, and one minute of audio is about 1,000 characters. On the Flash and Turbo models, API usage costs between 0.5 and 1 credit per character.
Do unused credits roll over?
On paid plans, unused credits roll over for up to two months, so your balance can reach 3 times your monthly quota while you keep an active subscription. Downgrading or cancelling forfeits them at the end of the cycle, and the Free plan has no rollover.
Is yearly billing cheaper?
Yes. Yearly billing works out to two months free, since you pay 10 months' price for 12. The monthly equivalent is $5 on Starter, $18.33 on Creator, $82.50 on Pro, $249.17 on Scale and $825 on Business.
