ElevenLabs review

ElevenLabs is the most complete voice tool for creators in this list. Its Eleven v4 model covers 90+ languages, supports multi-speaker dialogue and reads audio tags written into the script, so you can mark a line as whispered or add a laugh without editing audio. The library holds 17,500+ voices, and Voice Design and cloning let you build your own. Starter costs $6 a month and adds the commercial license, instant voice cloning, 20 Projects in Studio and 30,000 credits, which ElevenLabs puts at about 30 minutes of text to speech. Creator, at $22 a month, raises that to 121,000 credits and adds Professional Voice Cloning, the better route for an audiobook in your own voice. The catch is the credit model: credits are shared across text to speech, dubbing, sound effects and music, so heavy users need to watch the balance, and long books will push you toward Creator or Pro.

Who it is for
