AI Voice Over Cost Calculator
Paste a script or set your monthly volume — see exactly which plan to buy on each platform, and who is actually cheapest for your workload.
One of three free calculators on this site that answer the question pricing pages dodge: given my real monthly volume, what do I actually pay?
Estimates assume ~150 spoken words per minute and ~1,000 characters per minute of audio (ElevenLabs' own credit-to-minute ratio). Real usage varies with language, voice and speaking rate.
Every provider below was verified directly against its official pricing page in August 2026 — no third-party guesses. See the verification log for what we checked and when.

All free, all run in your browser, all priced against the vendors' own pages — and re-checked on a schedule you can see in our verification log.
AI Voice Over Cost

How this calculator works
Most "TTS pricing" pages just list plans. This one solves the question you actually have: given my volume, what do I pay?
It picks the plan, not just the price
For every provider we test each tier against your monthly minutes and surface the cheapest one that actually covers you. A $5 plan that runs out halfway through the month is not cheaper than a $22 one.
Free tiers are excluded when you need commercial rights
ElevenLabs Free, Murf Free and Speechify Free do not grant commercial use. With "Commercial use required" checked (the default) they are filtered out, because for a monetised channel they aren't real options. We break down exactly what every free plan gives you — watermarks, limits and rights — in our free plans & trials comparison.
Subscription caps are treated as hard caps
ElevenLabs' usage-based overage billing is now a legacy feature that new self-serve subscriptions can't enable, and Murf minutes simply don't roll over. So going over your quota means moving up a tier — which is what the calculator models.
Why some numbers differ from other comparison sites
ElevenLabs changed its quotas in 2026 (Creator is 121,000 credits, Pro is 600,000). A lot of comparison articles still quote the old 100k/500k figures. We re-check the official pages and date-stamp every update. Full breakdown: how ElevenLabs credits actually work.
Prices are estimates for planning purposes. Always confirm on the vendor's checkout page before buying.
