ElevenLabs turns text into speech. Small businesses use that kind of tool for a voiceover, a phone or IVR greeting, an audio version of a blog post, and a clip in more than one language. This page does not set any of those up. There is no playbook.
The summary table was read from the pricing page, checked 28 Oct 2026, check current pricing. Those figures are not a quote. Prices were in US dollars, and the page said they exclude taxes. This page has not been hands-on tested.
The free plan card listed text to speech, speech to text, sound effects, voice design, music, productions, image, and 3 projects in Studio, at $0 with 10,000 credits a month. Starter, at $6 a month for 30,000 credits, listed Commercial License as something added on top of free, plus instant voice cloning. That card also listed a first month at $1 until 1 November. Creator was $22 a month for 121,000 credits, with a first month at $11. Pro was $99 a month for 600,000 credits. Scale was $299 a month and Business was $990 a month. Enterprise was custom. Annual billing was described as ten months' price.
A voiceover, a phone greeting, or an IVR greeting is an audio file you export. Putting that file on a phone system is your own setup. A longer text, such as a blog post, spends credits. The FAQ said some multilingual models use one credit per character, credits are shared across products, and the free plan does not roll unused credits over. The text-to-speech comparison listed 74 languages on the free plan and on each paid plan. Read the pricing page again before you rely on a cap or a language count.
The website button is an affiliate link when paid surfaces are on. The pricing button is the ordinary pricing page. A commission does not buy a verdict.
