ElevenLabs
AI voice platform for speech, voice cloning, dubbing and voice agents
Uberduck
Text to speech, singing and AI music from one credit pool
Which one is for you
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
Pick Uberduck if
- Fits if you want speech, singing and rap vocals in one tool
- Works for small projects that fit a few thousand credits a month
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you need commercial use on Starter, which is non-commercial
- Skip it if you want to know the free limits, because the page doesn't state them
- Watch out: the page doesn't say what a speech character or song costs in credits
- Too light for teams, as the page lists no seat or team plans
How we grade them
| 3.0GPAElevenLabsVery good | 2.4GPAUberduckFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | A$2 a month billed yearly for 1,000 credits, under 60% of the cheapest quarter. Creator is $5 and Pro $30. Monthly-billed prices weren't shown. |
| Free plan and 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. | CA free tier exists, but its limits are not on the pricing page, so we can't say how far it goes. |
| 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. That covers more than any other tool here, and the listing shows no gap. | CText to speech, AI music, rap, image generation and clones, with an API from Creator. The page doesn't say how many credits a character or song costs. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record. A web app with credits to learn. |
| 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 with API access from Creator. No apps or integrations listed. |
| Best for | AI voiceovers, dubbing and voice cloning | speech, singing and rap vocals on a small budget |

Worth knowing

- 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.
Uberduck
- The Starter plan carries a non-commercial license; commercial use starts at Creator.
- The pricing page opens on yearly billing; the monthly-billed prices were not shown in the page text we read.
- The page does not say how many credits a character of speech or a song costs.

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.
