ElevenLabs

12 months of free access to the full ElevenLabs platform with 33,000,000 characters, through the ElevenLabs Grants program. ElevenLabs values it at more than $5,500 and over 680 hours of Agents usage. Grantees also get access to founder events and startup support.

ElevenLabs accepts startups and small companies with fewer than 25 employees at application, a long-term product, a business or monetization strategy and a valid business email. Agencies, consulting firms, SMBs, products for children aged 18 or under and existing enterprise customers are excluded. Each company may apply once.

The account converts to the Free plan unless you choose a paid plan. This happens at the end of the 12-month term, when your balance reaches 10,000 credits, or when you use all 33 million characters early. ElevenLabs emails you as you approach the cap.

Monthly prices are Starter $6, Creator $22, Pro $99, Scale $299 and Business $990, with 30,000 to 6,000,000 credits a month. Yearly billing costs 10 times the monthly price. API rates are $0.04 per 1,000 characters on Flash and Turbo and $0.08 on Multilingual v2 and v3.

No. The ElevenLabs help center says the Free plan has no commercial license, and non-commercial posts must credit elevenlabs.io or 11.ai in the title. Every paid plan from Starter at $6 a month includes a commercial license.

ElevenLabs reviews applications on a rolling basis with no deadline and says applicants hear back within one week. The grant plan and credits are then applied to the account you applied from.
