Pick ElevenLabs Free if…
you're trying voices, sound effects or music for personal projects.
ElevenLabs Free is generous for testing — TTS, music and sound effects — but it bars commercial use. Starter is the cheapest way to publish what you make, and it unlocks instant voice cloning.
Stay on Free for personal experiments. Pay for Starter ($6/mo) the moment the audio goes into a monetized video, podcast or product, or you want to clone a voice.
