Rime AI vs ElevenLabs: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Rime AI uses usage based pricing, so you only pay for the amount of speech you generate. The Starter plan begins at $0.03 per 1,000 characters, which is close to one minute of audio. New users get about 800 minutes free, worth around 800,000 characters, with no credit card required to start.

Pricing also depends on the voice model you pick. Mist v3 costs $0.03 per 1,000 characters and focuses on speed, while Coda costs $0.05 per 1,000 characters and focuses on natural sounding speech.

For larger organizations, the Enterprise plan moves to custom volume pricing based on scale. It includes unlimited concurrent voice generations, unlimited custom voice clones, dedicated support, and options to deploy on the cloud, on prem, or inside a private network.

ElevenLabs offers a free plan and several paid tiers. The Free plan gives 10,000 credits a month with basic access to text to speech, sound effects, and more.

• Starter ($6/month): Adds commercial use, instant voice cloning, and dubbing.

• Creator ($22/month, often $11 for the first month): Adds professional voice cloning with far more credits.

• Pro ($99/month): Higher quality API audio output.

• Scale ($299/month): Adds team seats and collaboration.

• Business ($990/month): 10 seats plus low cost, low latency speech.

Enterprise pricing is custom and includes dedicated support, custom security, and higher usage limits. Paying yearly gives two months free on every paid plan.
