- Monthly creditsFree includes 10,000 credits, Starter 30,000, Creator 121,000, Pro 600,000, Scale 1.8 million, and Business 6 million.

- ElevenAgents usage chargesEvery listed non-Enterprise plan shows $0.08 per additional call minute and $0.16 per burst minute when concurrency is exceeded; text messages cost $0.003 each. LLM usage is separately billed and model-dependent. ElevenLabs charges no extra telephony fee; an external carrier such as Twilio or a SIP trunk bills its own charges directly.
- Text to Speech APIRetained current API cards: v3 $0.08, v3 Conversational $0.04, v2 Multilingual $0.08, and Flash / Turbo $0.04 per 1,000 characters. v4 is $0.08 and v4 Turbo $0.04 per 1,000 characters after their promotions ended October 12; these are separate model cards, not universal TTS prices.
- Speech to Text APIScribe v2 costs $0.22 per hour, with transcript editing at $0.07 per hour and keyterm prompting at $0.05 per hour. Scribe v2 Realtime costs $0.39 per hour.
- Speech and audio APIsSpeech Engine additional calls cost $0.08 per minute and burst pricing is $0.16 per minute. Music costs $0.15 per minute and $1.50 per finetune. Voice Isolator, Voice Changer, and Sound Effects each cost $0.12 per minute.
- Dubbing APIDubbing v1 costs $0.33 per minute with a watermark and $0.50 without. Dubbing v2 costs $2.20 per minute.
- Credit consumptionAll products draw from one shared pool. Approximate costs are 1 credit per Text to Speech character, 330 credits per Speech to Text minute, 900 per Music minute, 200 per Sound Effects generation, 1,000 per Voice Changer or Voice Isolator minute, and 2,000 to 10,000 per Dubbing minute depending on workflow and watermark.
- Credit reset and rolloverUnused credits roll over for up to two months on an active paid subscription. Rollover is capped at 2x the monthly quota, so the balance can reach at most 3x the monthly quota. Rollover does not apply to Free. Downgrading or cancelling forfeits unused credits, while pay-as-you-go top-up credits are separate from this cap.
- Generation chargesCredits are charged per generation request, not per download. Limited free regenerations may be available when content and specified settings do not change; the interface indicates this before generation.
- Allowance and billing qualificationsStarter first-month promotion expires October 18; Creator first month is $11 rather than regular $22. The v4 API promotion and Creator+ 3x v4 credit banner ended October 12; regular v4 API is $0.08 per 1,000 characters.
- Calculator scopeSubscription estimates use regular recurring rates and exclude temporary first-month discounts. Starter first-month $1 promotion ends October 18; Creator first month is $11 rather than $22. No full-year promotional total or exact annual invoice is inferred.
