Our editorial assessment, based on the public sources listed below. Last reviewed .
- Task rank
- #1
- Tier
- S
- Score
- 96.4
Strengths
- Eleven v3 supports 70+ languages with audio tags (laughs, whispers) for nuanced delivery
- Flash v2.5 hits ~75ms latency for real-time voice agents while keeping instant voice cloning available from the $6 Starter plan
- Speech-to-speech transformation and SFX generation broaden creative workflows beyond plain TTS
Considerations
- Professional Voice Cloning requires the Creator plan or higher; Starter includes only instant cloning
- Voice changer can struggle when crossing very different accents
- Full voice agents run on the separate ElevenAgents platform with its own usage-based pricing, on top of the TTS plans
Price
Free plan (10k credits/month); Starter $6/month with instant voice cloning; Creator $22/month
