What the pricing page doesn’t make obvious
- The pricing page lists an extra minute at about $0.18 on Creator and about $0.17 on Pro and above. We count an extra minute as 1,000 credits, as ElevenLabs does, and use those figures. The exact top-up price is shown in your account.
- The same table lists an extra minute at about $0.20 on Starter, but Starter’s feature list doesn’t include additional credits. We don’t count top-ups on Starter.
- Top-ups are pay-as-you-go, start at $5 and expire after 12 months.
- Flash and Turbo voices cost between half a credit and one credit per character, but only through the API. On the website every voice model costs one credit per character.
- Unused credits roll over for up to two months on paid plans.
- Yearly billing charges for ten months. First-month discounts are left out.
