ElevenLabs
AI voice platform for speech, voice cloning, dubbing and voice agents
Which one is for you
Pick DupDub if
- Fits if you want voiceover, avatars and subtitles under one login
- Works for audiobook and podcast makers who want several voices in one file
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a real free plan, because it is 5 credits for 3 days and personal use only
- Watch out: premium voices cost five times the credits of standard ones, so 150 credits goes less far
- Watch out: the page shows annual prices, and a month-to-month price wasn't readable
- Pricey if you need Business, which has no price on the page
Pick ElevenLabs if
- Fits if you voice videos, podcasts or audiobooks and will pay for a commercial license
- Works for apps that need an API and voice agents on the same account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're staying free, since the free plan carries no commercial license or cloning
- Tight if you dub a lot, as dubbing costs 2,000 to 10,000 credits a minute from the same pool as speech
- Not for you if you need a professional clone of a voice that isn't yours
- Pricey if you need more than 30 minutes a month: Creator is $22 monthly for about 121 minutes, Pro $99 for about 600
- Watch out: downgrading or cancelling forfeits rolled-over credits, and there's no desktop app
How we grade them
| 2.2GPADupDubFair | 3.0GPAElevenLabsVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$11 a month billed yearly for 150 credits, which sits in the middle of the category. Professional is $30 and Ultimate $110, and Scale is $3,000 a year. | CAn hour of voiceover a month means Creator: $18.33 a month billed yearly ($22 monthly) for 121,000 credits, about 121 minutes of speech. Starter at $5 covers only about 30 minutes. That's the middle of what this category charges, and dubbing and music eat the same credits. |
| Free plan and trial | D3 days, 5 credits, personal use only. The listing calls it a free plan, but it works as a short trial. | C10,000 credits a month, about 10 minutes of speech, and 3 Studio projects. There's no commercial license and no cloning, so nothing you make on it can go in a video you publish. Enough to hear the voices, not to do the job. |
| Features | B700+ voices in 90+ languages, cloning, avatars, subtitles, translation, a writing tool and an API from Personal. Credits are shared, and premium voices cost 0.1 credits a second against 0.02 for standard. | AText to speech in 70+ languages, instant and professional cloning, voices designed from a prompt, dubbing, a long-form Studio, transcription, music, sound effects and voice agents. That covers more than any other tool here, and the listing shows no gap. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Several tools in one studio means more to learn than a single text box. | A4.84 from 22,674 App Store ratings, the highest in this category. Paste text, pick a voice, press play. Working out what each product costs in credits is the fiddly part. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iOS and Android, plus Canva and ChatGPT add-ons and an API. No desktop app listed. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and SDKs, and Zapier, Make, n8n, Salesforce and Zendesk connections. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | voiceovers, avatars and subtitles in one account | AI voiceovers, dubbing and voice cloning |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
