ElevenCreative is ElevenLabs' content creation platform for speech, music, sound effects, images and video. It shares one credit-based pricing structure across its products, so the free plan comes down to how many credits you get and which features are locked behind paid tiers.

What the free plan includes

According to the ElevenCreative tab on the official ElevenLabs pricing page, the Free plan ($0/mo) includes:

• Text to Speech
• Speech to Text
• Sound Effects
• Voice Design
• Music
• Productions
• Image
• 3 Projects in Studio
• 10k credits per month

All products draw from one shared monthly credit pool. The pricing FAQ gives approximate costs: text to speech uses 1 credit per character, speech to text 330 credits a minute, Eleven Music 900 credits a minute, and sound effects 200 credits per generation. So 10k credits covers about 10,000 characters of speech, or roughly 11 minutes of music.

Some limits are worth knowing:

• No commercial licence. The commercial licence, music commercial use and Instant Voice Cloning start on the Starter plan.
• No rollover. The FAQ says unused credits do not roll over on the Free plan.
• No Dubbing Studio or Image & Video. Both are listed as Starter additions; the Free plan lists Image only.
• A per-request cap. The FAQ says there is a maximum number of credits per generation request, and that the limit depends on whether you are on the Free tier or a paid plan.

ElevenCreative pricing

Prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes, levies and duties. The pricing FAQ explains that annual billing works out to two months free (you pay for 10 months). The $1 and $11 first-month prices are introductory offers; the regular prices are $6 and $22 a month. A separate banner on the page advertising 30,000 credits for $1 showed an expired end date when we checked, so don't count on it.

Is the paid plan worth it?

Stay on Free if you are trying out voices, making short personal projects, or experimenting with sound effects and music. Ten thousand credits a month is enough to test the platform properly, but not for regular production.

Upgrade to Starter if you plan to publish or sell what you make. It is the cheapest plan with a commercial licence, music commercial use and Instant Voice Cloning, and it triples your credits to 30k. Creator ($22) suits regular creators who need Professional Voice Cloning or around 121k credits a month. Pro and above are for heavy or API use, and Scale and Business add team seats.

On paid plans, unused credits roll over for up to two months while you keep an active subscription. The FAQ says downgrading or cancelling forfeits unused paid credits at the end of the billing cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Does ElevenCreative have a free trial?

There is no time-limited trial listed. Instead there is a permanent Free plan at $0 a month with 10k credits a month, and Starter and Creator were showing discounted first-month prices ($1 and $11) when we checked.

Can I cancel ElevenCreative any time?

Yes. The pricing FAQ says you can cancel at any time. Your subscription stays active until the end of the billing cycle, then your account moves to the Free plan and unused paid credits expire.

Can I use ElevenCreative's free plan commercially?

The pricing page lists the commercial licence as a Starter plan addition, so commercial use needs a paid plan.

Do unused credits roll over?

On paid plans, unused credits roll over for up to two months (up to 2x your monthly quota) while your subscription is active. Rollover does not apply to the Free plan.
