How ElevenLabs Eleven v4 rates across core capability dimensions, with the task-level evidence behind each rating.
Vendor claims only so far: "Ranked #1 by Artificial Analysis" and preferred by ~75% of listeners in blind head-to-head tests (launch post). Not yet independently checked here; v3 was #12 of 98 on the Artificial Analysis TTS Arena.
90+ languages per ElevenLabs' launch post (v3: 70+).
Full ElevenLabs voice cloning; the launch post says Instant Voice Clones now need about 10 seconds of audio.
~100ms median inference latency per the launch post (vendor-reported).
Ratings are estimated — limited independent data is available for this model.
Operator guidance
Choose Eleven v4 over v3 for new work: same $80/1M list price (a launch promotion runs to 2026-10-12), more emotive, and 90+ languages. Choose v4 Turbo when latency matters more than the last bit of expressiveness.
Use cases
- Expressive narration and character voices
- Premium content that needs directed emotional delivery
Limitations
- Quality and latency figures are vendor-reported (launch post)
- Launch promo pricing ends 2026-10-12; re-verify the list price after
