Priced from the ElevenAPI page (elevenlabs.io/pricing/api), which bills API usage in USD per character rather than in the credits of the creator plans at elevenlabs.io/pricing. The standard high-quality models (Eleven v4, v3, v2 Multilingual) list at $0.08 per 1k characters ($80/M); Flash/Turbo, v3 Conversational and v4 Turbo list at $0.04 per 1k ($40/M). A launch promotion cuts v4 to $0.022 and v4 Turbo to $0.011 per 1k until 12 October 2026, with plan allowances raised accordingly (e.g. Business 45M v4 characters); list prices are used here. Included characters at list rate: Free 10k, Starter $6 75k, Creator $22 (first month $11) 275k, Pro $99 1.238M, Scale $299 3.738M, Business $990 12.375M; usage above the allowance is billed at the same per-character rate, so every plan works out to ~$80/M and subscriptions mainly buy concurrency, seats and features (commercial licence, voice cloning). Yearly billing costs 10 months' price. On the creator-side credit plans, v2/v3 Multilingual cost 1 credit/character and Flash/Turbo 0.5-1. Enterprise adds custom pricing, SLAs and EU/India data residency (isolated environments, enterprise-only). Eleven Labs Inc. is incorporated in the US with large operations in London and Warsaw; public DPA at elevenlabs.io/dpa covers self-serve customers.
