How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CIndividual is $190 a year, or $19 monthly, for 20,000 credits a month, about 2 hours of voice generation, with commercial rights and cloning. An hour fits with room to spare, at the going rate for this category. Run out and nothing generates until the reset. |
| Free plan and trial | C10,000 credits a month, about 10 minutes of speech, and 3 Studio projects. But there's no commercial license and no cloning, so nothing you make on it can go in a video you publish. Fine for hearing the voices, not for the job. | CA free account with 1,000 credits once and limited downloads, no card needed. There's no commercial license and no cloning, so it's for trying voices, not for anything you'll publish. |
| Features | 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. Nothing else here covers as much, and nothing in the listing shows a gap. | B1,000+ voices, cloning from a 5 to 15 second sample on any paid plan, translation, an API, and a podcast studio that hosts your show and sends it to Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the voice work itself. |
| Ease of use | A4.84 from 22,674 App Store ratings, the best in this category. Paste text, pick a voice, press play. Working out what each product costs in credits is the only fiddly part. | CNo store rating on record. It's a web studio: write the script, pick a voice, direct the delivery, download. A normal amount to learn, with credits to watch. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and SDKs, and Zapier, Make, n8n, Salesforce and Zendesk connections. No desktop app, which an A needs. | CWeb only, with an API. The other names on its list, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube Music, are where your episodes go rather than tools it plugs into. No phone or desktop app. |
| Best for | AI voiceovers that sound like people | voiceovers and podcast hosting in one place |

Worth knowing
ElevenLabs
- The Free plan has no commercial license or voice cloning; both start on Starter, and Professional Voice Cloning starts on Creator.
- One credit pool covers every product: text to speech costs about 1 credit per character, and dubbing 2,000 to 10,000 credits per minute.
- Professional Voice Clones are limited to your own voice and need a voice check; for instant clones you must confirm you have the right and consent.
- Unused credits roll over for up to two months on paid plans, but downgrading or cancelling forfeits them at the end of the cycle.
Listnr
- The free account gets 1,000 credits once, limited downloads and no commercial rights or voice cloning; both start on Individual.
- When the monthly credits run out you cannot generate audio until they reset, unless you buy extra credits or upgrade.
- Listnr says it generally does not refund partial months or used credits.
- Priority support is limited to Agency, and team seats, SSO and invoicing need a custom plan.
