Full review
ElevenLabs is an AI audio company best known for lifelike text to speech. Its site describes three product lines: ElevenCreative for content creation (text to speech, speech to text, voice cloning, dubbing, music, sound effects and image or video tools), ElevenAgents for voice agents that handle customer conversations, and ElevenAPI for developers who want to build the same capabilities into their own products.
The platform advertises more than 5,000 voices in 70+ languages, with use cases such as audiobook narration, advertising voiceover, game characters, conversational voices and short-form social content. The homepage lists enterprise customers including Twilio, Cisco, Epic Games, Nvidia, Revolut and Meta.
Pricing is credit based. A free plan gives 10,000 credits a month, and paid personal tiers start at $6 a month with a commercial license and instant voice cloning. Business tiers add seats, professional voice clones and low-latency text to speech priced from about 5 cents
