Pros and cons

ElevenLabs

Pros

  • Broad product range in one account: text-to-speech, speech-to-text, cloning, dubbing, sound effects, music and agents

  • Free plan with 10,000 credits per month for testing

Cons

  • Credits are consumed quickly on long-form work; the Starter plan's 30,000 credits is about 30 minutes of text-to-speech
  • The Free plan has no commercial license and needs attribution when published
  • Professional Voice Cloning requires Creator ($22 per month) or higher
  • Plan structure is complex, with credits, concurrency limits and different per-model API rates

  • Pricing page showed conflicting plan tables, which makes costs hard to verify.
  • No publicly released iOS or Android app was found.
