How we grade them
| 3.0GPAElevenLabsVery good | 2.0GPARespeecherFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CPay-as-you-go packs are $5 per 20,000 characters, commercial use included, and Respeecher puts 60,000 characters at about an hour, so an hour is $15. Subscriptions run from $18 for 30,000 characters to Creator at $74 a month billed yearly. The real-time API is $2 per 60,000 characters. |
| 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. | CNo free plan. There's a free trial of text to speech and speech-to-speech in the Marketplace, but the listing doesn't say how much it covers or whether it wants a card. The real-time API is free to start. |
| 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. | CSpeech-to-speech, licensed celebrity voices, a Pro Tools plugin and a real-time API, which few here offer. But custom voices and real-time conversion are Enterprise-only, subscriptions get 25+ voices, and Creator allows 100 requests a day. |
| 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. The Marketplace is a web app with a Pro Tools plugin, and speech-to-speech means recording your own takes. Custom voice work runs through Respeecher's team, not a sign-up. |
| 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 and one plugin, for Pro Tools. That's the right plugin for sound studios, but it's the whole list, and there's no phone or desktop app. |
| Best for | AI voiceovers that sound like people | recreating a particular voice for film and games |

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.
Respeecher
- Custom voices and real-time voice conversion are Enterprise-only, and cloning someone's voice needs a signed agreement with that person.
- Pay-as-you-go packs, from $5 for 20,000 characters or 5 minutes of speech-to-speech to $250 for 500 credits, include commercial usage rights but no API access.
- The real-time TTS API is billed separately at $2 per 60,000 characters, about an hour of speech.
- Subscriptions cap daily text-to-speech requests: 350 on TTS only, 100 on Creator and 500 on Power.
