ElevenLabs pricing starts at Starter $6/mo (30k credits). Every figure on this page was checked against ElevenLabs’s own pricing page on 2026-09-11, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is. Below: what each plan costs, what the step up actually buys you, and what the headline price leaves out.
There is a free plan: 10,000 credits/mo, no commercial license or voice cloning. Read the allowance rather than the label — what runs out first is usually what forces the upgrade.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
