What is ElevenLabs Agents?
ElevenLabs is best known for very lifelike AI voices. ElevenAgents (ElevenLabs Agents) is its platform for building voice agents on top of those voices. It handles listening, the voice, turn-taking, a knowledge base and phone or website connections, and lets you pick the AI model behind the agent.
If the sound of the voice matters most to your brand, for example in hospitality, healthcare or premium services, ElevenLabs is often the first tool people test.
How much does ElevenLabs Agents cost?
ElevenAgents uses monthly plans with included call minutes. Extra minutes cost $0.08 each on Creator and above.
| Plan | Price / month | Included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 15 minutes | 4 concurrent calls. |
| Starter | $6 | 75 minutes | 6 concurrent calls. |
| Creator | $22 | 275 minutes | 10 concurrent calls. |
| Pro | $99 | 1,238 minutes | 20 concurrent calls. |
| Scale | $299 | 3,738 minutes | 30 concurrent calls, 3 seats. |
| Business | $990 | 12,375 minutes | 40 concurrent calls, 10 seats. |
The plan covers ElevenLabs hosting, speech-to-text and text-to-speech. Two things are billed on top: the AI model, at cost and by model, and your phone provider. Text messages cost $0.003 each. Calls above your concurrency limit use "burst" pricing at $0.16 per minute. Starter and Creator have a discounted first month.
If you use all included minutes, the plan works out to about $0.080 per minute on Pro, the same as the $0.08 extra-minute rate.
What is included, and what is not?
- Included: speech-to-text, text-to-speech, realtime configs, knowledge bases and RAG, workflow builder, website widget, telephony connections.
- Not included: LLM usage (at cost, varies by model)
- Not included: Phone carrier minutes (your telephony provider)
- Not included: Burst calls above your concurrency ($0.16/min)
What does ElevenLabs Agents cost at 3 business sizes?
A receptionist with 3-minute calls on GPT-6.1 Terra, 22 working days, no buffer. The calculator picks the cheapest plan for your minutes, including extra minutes.
| Size | Calls per day | Plan | AI model | Platform | Voice and phone | Total per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 10 | Creator | $2.18 | $52.80 | $5.61 | $60.59 |
| Medium | 40 | Pro | $8.71 | $211 | $22.44 | $242 |
| Large | 150 | Pro | $32.67 | $792 | $84.15 | $909 |
At 40 calls a day (2,640 minutes), the best fit is Pro for a total of about $242. The AI model is a small part of that; the plan and minutes are most of it.
What hidden costs should you watch for?
- No extra minutes on Free and Starter. These plans stop at 15 and 75 minutes.
- Burst calls. Busy moments above your concurrency limit cost double ($0.16 per minute).
- Model choice. The LLM is billed at cost. A big model on long calls adds up.
- Your phone bill. Telephony is not included; your provider bills you directly.
How can you lower your ElevenLabs bill?
- Pick the plan whose included minutes match your real usage; extra minutes are the same price as included ones.
- Use a fast, low-cost model for simple calls.
- Set a maximum call length and silence timeout.
- Plan concurrency for your busiest hour so you avoid burst pricing.
What are the main ElevenLabs Agents alternatives?
- Vapi: about $217 a month for 40 calls a day, and you can still use ElevenLabs voices through it. See the Vapi cost calculator.
- Bland AI: about $392 with the model included. See the Bland AI cost calculator.
- Retell AI: pay per minute with no plan fee. See the Retell AI cost calculator.

How do you calculate your ElevenLabs cost?
- How many voice conversations a day?. Use a normal working day. A rough guess is fine, and we count 22 working days a month.
- How many minutes is each conversation?. Check your phone system for your real average. Call length is usually the biggest thing that moves a voice bill.
- Read your answer. You see one monthly figure, the cost of each ElevenLabs task and what makes up the total.

How should you budget for ElevenLabs?
Voice agents bill by the minute, so average call length drives your cost more than anything else. Add every layer: the platform fee, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, the AI model and the phone line. A rate that looks low can double once the other layers are included.
To budget for ElevenLabs, take your monthly call count and your real average call length from your phone system, then enter both in the calculator. Also count transfers, phone numbers and extra concurrent lines if you get calls at the same time. Test with real callers before you commit, because a chatty agent adds minutes to every call.
