    Found stale while primary-sourcing pricing for a separate Eleven v3 registry addition (SCO-346): the previous $120/1M entry was an effective rate derived from Scale-plan credit arithmetic, per its own note ("ElevenLabs does not publish a direct per-character API rate"). That's no longer true — elevenlabs.io/pricing/api now lists a direct pay-as-you-go rate, "Multilingual v2 / v3: $0.10 per 1K characters" ($100/1M), grouping v2 and v3 at one shared rate. effective_to on the prior entry is the date before this one was first verified, not a confirmed price-change date.

    SCO-672: elevenlabs.io/pricing/api now lists "v2 Multilingual" at $0.08 per 1K characters ($80/1M). That's the list price: this card has no promo tag and no struck price (only v4 and v4 Turbo carry the "72% off until Oct 12" promo). SCO-346 read $0.10 per 1K from the same page on 2026-07-30, so ElevenLabs cut the rate between those dates. The exact change date is unknown (no archived snapshot was reachable), so effective_from is the date this was verified.

Operator guidance

The reference choice for maximum voice quality. At ~$100/1M chars it is expensive but justified for content where audio quality drives user perception. Route latency-sensitive applications to Flash v2.5 instead. For simple utility TTS at scale, OpenAI TTS-1 is ~6.7× cheaper.
