ElevenLabs pricing questions
How much does ElevenLabs cost in 2026? +
Free to start, then $6 Starter, $22 Creator, $99 Pro, $299 Scale and $990 Business, with Enterprise on request. Annual billing takes roughly 17% off, which brings Creator to about $18.33 a month.
Which ElevenLabs plan do I need for voice cloning? +
Instant voice cloning starts at Starter for $6. Professional voice cloning, the one that reproduces a specific voice properly, starts at Creator for $22.
Is Vuela.ai cheaper than ElevenLabs? +
They are not quite comparable. Vuela starts at $9 a month and includes voice inside a plan that also generates video and images, so it replaces two subscriptions rather than undercutting one. If all you need is a TTS API, ElevenLabs Starter at $6 is cheaper.
Does Vuela use ElevenLabs? +
Yes, it runs ElevenLabs among its voice engines alongside MiniMax Audio. So this is not a quality trade-off: it is the same voice technology, delivered inside a video workflow instead of as a separate audio subscription.
What does Vuela do that ElevenLabs cannot? +
Generate the video the voice belongs to, and dub a finished video into 30+ languages with the speaker’s lips matching the new language. ElevenLabs produces the audio; the video and the lip sync are a different job.
Voice is one step of the video, not a separate bill
