Summary

Overview

If your videos feel “off,” the voice track is often the reason. ElevenLabs is a voice and audio platform, so it slots in next to your editor rather than replacing it.

Two practical notes from its pricing page: the commercial licence starts at the Starter plan, and the first-month promo prices shown are not the ongoing price. Only clone a voice with the speaker’s permission.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • People adding a clean voiceover to explainers, tutorials and ads
  • Creators dubbing or localising existing videos

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • Anyone who wants a full video editor
  • People who need a clear answer on voice-rights without reading the terms (cloning has consent and licence rules)

Pricing

Free plan (10k credits/mo); Starter $6/mo, Creator $22/mo, Pro $99/mo, Scale $299/mo, Business $990/mo. As of Oct 2026, verify (limited-time first-month discounts were shown).

  • Free: $0, 10k credits per month.
  • Starter: $6/mo with commercial licence, instant voice cloning and Dubbing Studio.
  • Creator: $22/mo, 30k credits per month, more projects.
  • Pro $99, Scale $299 (3 seats), Business $990 for larger volumes.
  • Credits are the unit of usage; the page showed promo pricing for the first month.

Pros and good to know

Drawn from the vendor's own documentation and public sources.

Pros

  • Large voice library across many languages
  • Free tier to audition voices
  • Commercial licence is listed from the $6 Starter plan
  • Clear per-plan credit allowances

Good to know

  • Everything runs on credits, so long scripts use up the Free plan quickly
  • Commercial licence is not part of the Free plan (listed starting at Starter)
  • Voice cloning needs care: only clone voices you have permission to use
  • Promotional first-month prices make the real ongoing cost less obvious

Alternatives

  • Clueso: Turns a screen recording, deck or document into a product demo or how-to video, with AI voiceover, captions and step-by-step articles.
  • Synthesia: AI video platform: avatar presenters, text-to-video, dubbing and translation for training and comms.
  • Epidemic Sound: Subscription library of human-made music and sound effects, with AI search, Studio and Adapt tools but no AI-generated music.
