## Shortlist

### 1. HeyGen

AI avatar video, voice cloning and video translation into 175+ languages with lip sync.

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — The cheapest plan that permits commercial publishing, Creator at $29 a month, includes up to ten hours of text to speech, so two finished hours sit well inside the allowance.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — Ten hours a month is sold and lands exactly at the Creator ceiling of ten hours; Pro at $49 raises it to sixteen hours or more of text to speech.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Voices that use more: partial — The newer engines burn the allowance far faster, 48 credits a minute for Avatar V against 4 for an Avatar III video look, and Precision dubbing costs 10 a minute against Speed's 6; no per-voice rate difference is published.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/15126059-how-to-use-credits-on-heygen)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none. The price shown first is the plain month-to-month rate: each plan card opens with its Monthly control selected at $29, $49 and $149, and only switching the card's own control to Yearly drops Creator to $24 a month billed as $288 for the year, advertised as two months free rather than as an introductory discount.](https://www.heygen.com/pricing)
- [Past your allowance: partial — Only the team plan can buy extra credits: Business tops up in blocks of 100 credits for $5, which is 5 cents a credit, with optional auto-reload, while Creator and Pro cannot buy packs at all and must move up a plan or a credit tier when the month's allowance is gone.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/15126059-how-to-use-credits-on-heygen)
- [Audio you get: partial — You can download just the audio or the captions SRT beside the video, and MP3 or MP4 from the podcast and cloning flows; audio-only export of a translation is Enterprise-only, and no bitrate is published for app exports.](https://help.heygen.com/en/articles/9834825-how-to-download-or-export-a-video)

### 2. Murf AI

Voice-over Studio with timeline video syncing, downloadable audio, dubbing, and a public API.

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — $29 a month on Creator for 2 hours of 60 minutes (120 minutes of finished audio). Billing increment not stated: computed per second (60 min a hour). If they round each hour up to the minute (60 min), it is $29. an hour of finished speech is 60 minutes of audio; generation you do not download or keep is not counted where the vendor meters downloads](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Voices that use more: partial — On the API the studio-quality text to speech model costs three times the newest Falcon 2.1 model per thousand characters, so the choice of model changes what speech costs; Studio subscriptions instead meter hours of voice generation with no per-voice rate stated on this page.](https://murf.ai/pricing)
- [Unused credits: yes — Unused Studio time can roll into only the immediately following renewal cycle and is lost after cancellation.](https://help.murf.ai/vgt-carry-forward)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — When Studio time runs out there is no published top-up rate: you upgrade the plan or ask support to repurchase it.](https://help.murf.ai/how-to-add-more-vgtvoice-generation-time)
- [Consent of the voice’s owner: partial — Enterprise cloning rules require ownership or clear documented consent for the voice submitted to Murf.](https://help.murf.ai/are-there-any-specifications-for-recording-the-voice-data)
- [How long a video you can dub: partial — Limits published are concurrent projects — one on Free, five on Pay as you go, unlimited on Enterprise; no file length or size cap is stated.](https://help.murf.ai/murf-dub-plans)

### 3. Narakeet

Duration-priced browser voice-over and narrated-video maker with non-expiring capacity.

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — $24 a month on 30 minutes for 2 hours of 60 minutes (120 minutes of finished audio). Billed by the second. an hour of finished speech is 60 minutes of audio; generation you do not download or keep is not counted where the vendor meters downloads](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — $120 a month on 30 minutes for 10 hours of 60 minutes (600 minutes of finished audio). Billed by the second. an hour of finished speech is 60 minutes of audio; generation you do not download or keep is not counted where the vendor meters downloads](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Unused credits: yes — Purchased capacity remains available for future use rather than expiring at a monthly billing boundary.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none — Narakeet describes its public capacity purchase as a one-time payment, not a promotion or recurring subscription.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)
- [Video dubbing: partial — Narakeet makes synchronized dubbed tracks from translated subtitle files, but documents choosing a target voice rather than cloning the speaker.](https://www.narakeet.com/create/ai-dubbing.html)
- [How long a video you can dub: partial — Commercial accounts document a 350 MB upload limit and a 60-minute single transcription request, not a per-dub limit.](https://www.narakeet.com/docs/pricing/)

### 4. Fish Audio

Expressive text-to-speech, voice cloning and long-form studio with a credit-metered API.

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — Two hours of speech needs 120 of the 200 minutes the $15/month Plus plan includes, and Plus is the cheapest tier whose feature list states commercial use is allowed.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — Ten hours is 600 minutes, over the Plus allowance, so it needs Pro at $100 a month month-to-month, which includes up to 1,620 minutes of generation.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Voices that use more: yes — Newer and borrowed voices cost more: on the MCP surface another team's professional clone is charged double, and in the API the drama-3 model lists at more than triple s2.1-pro.](https://docs.fish.audio/overview/mcp)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Unused credits: no — Monthly allowances reset with the billing cycle and anything left is lost, which the vendor states plainly and pairs with advice to spend the allowance inside the period.](https://fish.audio/plan/)
- [Audiobook files: partial — The vendor advertises chapter-level audiobook narration meeting Audible's ACX specs, but it documents no retail-ready export package or store delivery step, only audio files.](https://fish.audio/)
- [Video dubbing: no — Audio Translation transcribes and translates speech into text you read, not dubbed audio in the speaker's voice, and the product takes audio files rather than video.](https://fish.audio/translate-audio/)

- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — $249 a month on Business for 10 hours of 60 minutes. credits counted per character or per word are converted at the standard hour: 52,000 characters, 9,300 words](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Instant cloning: yes — Voice cloning from one sample is sold on every paid plan with a cap on stored voices: 5 on Starter, 30 on Pro, 180 on Pro Max and 500 on Business, while the Free plan gets none.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — Running past the allowance is handled by buying credit packs, which the plan cards list only from Pro upward, plus an opt-in Dynamic Billing overdraft; no per-credit overage rate is published.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — A Voice Dictionary fixes how words are said across a translation project, but the comparison table withholds it from the Free plan, and brand-terminology Studio Voice only starts on Pro Max.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Text to speech is capped per use rather than organized as a long project: 2,000 characters per use on Starter rising to 50,000 on Business, with a separate 3,000-character ceiling for Doubao voices.](https://www.akool.com/pricing)

- [Commercial use: yes — Commercial use is included for generated audio when the buyer owns rights to source text, recordings, and videos.](https://speechma.com/faq)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost to dub 60 minutes a month: partial — Dubbing is free and publishable, but one job accepts only a 60 MB video, so a 60-minute film must be split into parts rather than dubbed in a single pass.](https://speechma.com/ai-dubbing)
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none: the free price is permanent rather than an introductory rate, and the vendor states there is no trial and no card involved at all.](https://speechma.com/)

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**

- [Promotion and regular price: no — none — Starter is shown as a monthly subscription, while annual billing is displayed separately.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [Past your allowance: partial — Paid plans can add one million credits for a one-time $20 purchase valid for one year.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts work, but in chunks: per-conversion caps run from 250 characters free to 10,000 on Pro, with Studio Grade Stitching smoothing continuity past 1,000 characters.](https://voicemaker.in/pricing)

### 8. TopMediai

AI studio for text to speech, voice cloning and video dubbing on one shared credit balance.

- [Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use): yes — $9.62 a month on Lifetime Plan for 10 hours of 60 minutes. credits counted per character or per word are converted at the standard hour: 52,000 characters, 9,300 words](https://www.topmediai.com/app/pricing/)
- [Instant cloning: yes — Instant cloning works from a short upload or live recording, and paid plans state how many clones the credit allowance covers.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/ai-voice-cloning/)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost to dub 60 minutes a month: partial — Dubbing is sold by credit allowance, not by the minute: the cheapest monthly plan covers only about 24 minutes of video translation, so 60 minutes needs a bigger or second purchase.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/pricing/)
- [Pronunciation fixes: partial — Only basic pronunciation fixes are offered in the web editor; the vendor points advanced phonetic control at the API instead of the studio.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/text-to-speech/)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts are handled in a separate Long Text mode inside Voiceover Studio, but a single generation in the main editor is capped at 4,000 characters.](https://www.topmediai.com/app/pricing/)

### 9. Typecast

Expressive AI voice generator with emotion controls, voice cloning and a developer speech API.

**Where it improves on ElevenLabs:**
- [Cost for 2 hours a month: yes — Two hours of downloadable narration needs the Business plan at $69 a month, because the cheapest commercial plan with enough credits below it, Pro, covers only about 90 minutes.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Commercial use: yes — A commercial license starts on the cheapest paid Studio plan, Basic at $5 a month, which also makes attribution optional; the $0 Free plan carries no commercial license and requires attribution on everything downloaded.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Your voice trains their models: partial — You must consent to your upload being used to train your own custom voice, and no page offers a way to decline while still cloning.](https://typecast.ai/voice-cloning/)

**Trade-offs against ElevenLabs:**
- [Past your allowance: partial — On the API plans extra use carries a published rate and is billed automatically in fixed blocks, but on the web Studio plans only Business may buy additional credits at all and the page prints no price for them.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/api/)
- [Emotion, pace and emphasis: partial — Emotion, pitch, intonation and dynamics are Pro features and speed starts at Plus, so the two cheapest paid plans cannot shape delivery.](https://typecast.ai/pricing/)
- [Long scripts and chapters: partial — Long scripts are handled chapter by chapter through the command line tool, and single requests to the speech API cap at 2,000 characters.](https://typecast.ai/docs/cli-reference/use-cases/audiobook-generation)
