🎙️ ElevenLabs: 30,000 credits for $1 + 3 months free for students

[GhostX]

ElevenLabs Starter for $1 — 30,000 credits, cloning, dubbing and the commercial licence

The offer, as it stands — the Starter plan is $1 for the first month instead of $6, and the month brings 30,000 shared credits, instant voice cloning, the multilingual dubbing studio, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, sound effects, the image and video tools, and the commercial licence on eligible content.

Students — verify once through the student route and you get 3 months free.

No student card? The same voices without paying — Chatterbox (MIT, and it beat ElevenLabs in about 65% of blind listening tests) · Kokoro (Apache) · Piper (MIT) · sherpa-onnx runs them on a phone.

The fine print that saves money — the free tier is 10,000 credits a month with no commercial licence. The dollar month is the cheapest way to a commercial desk; the MIT and Apache engines above are commercial-safe forever.

What people use it for — voiceover for a faceless channel · an audiobook · one clip dubbed into 29 languages · game and mod lines · course narration.

My habit is to write and edit the full script before I generate anything, so I do not waste credits on repeated drafts. I also test a short paragraph first to lock in the voice, pace, and tone I want for the whole piece. Then I generate in small sections and save the settings for each project, which makes later edits sound consistent. Finally, I keep a simple note of which settings worked well, so I can reuse them instead of starting from scratch each time.
