Promotional and regular ElevenLabs rates
On October 2, ElevenLabs lists v4 at $0.022 and v4 Turbo at $0.011 per 1,000 characters through October 12, alongside regular prices of $0.08 and $0.04. Promotional calculations are removed after expiry until the rates are checked again.
Subscriptions can include generation allowances, temporary bonuses and separate overage terms. Compare the actual plan and volume you will use; a headline public price does not describe every contract.
Characters, minutes and audio tokens
Speech minutes cannot be converted precisely to characters without the script and delivery speed. Direct Gemini TTS may charge text and audio tokens while a gateway charges characters. Different TTS families therefore cannot be treated as identical per-minute offers.
For commercial narration, check voices, language, licensing and the speech controls you need. A listed TTS model does not establish access to every ElevenLabs product, such as voice cloning or its agent platform.
