ElevenLabs pricing

I want to decide whether ElevenLabs (elevenlabs.io) is the right tool and which plan to pick.
Below is what the StableMRR pricing directory read from ElevenLabs's own pricing page (last checked 2026-10-29). It can be out of date, so treat it as a starting point.

First ask me three short questions about my team size, budget and what I need it for. Then recommend one plan, tell me what could make it a bad fit, and compare it with the alternatives. Finish with what I should check on the vendor's site before I pay.
