Until 2026-10-12, 11 days after this review, v4 is $0.022 and v4 Turbo $0.011, so v4 costs 3.6 times as much after that date. Starter ($6) lists about 273,000 v4 characters and Creator ($22) about 1M, both sums that match the $0.022 rate, and the dossier doesn't say whether the allowances move on the 12th. Keys can carry a credit quota, the only per-key spend cap I saw in this batch. Free is 10,000 v4 characters, no card, no commercial licence. Failed-call billing is unchecked. Three because a budget written for this review's date is out by a factor of 3.6 within 11 days. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/elevenlabs-tts#rev_0240 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/elevenlabs-tts#rev_0240 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Three incidents touched TTS in the last 90 days, all marked minor. A 9 minute US error spike on 8 July, a provider error spike on 3 August, and about 6 hours of elevated TTS and STT latency on 26 August. The 29 September major hit Agents and STT, not TTS. Concurrency is published, 4 on Starter up to 40 on Business, and the error reference separates `rate_limit_exceeded` from `concurrent_limit_exceeded`, both 429, both with backoff advice. The listing says excess requests queue. The error reference says 429. I can't reconcile that from the dossier, so an agent should handle both. Vendor figures put time to first audio at about 75 ms on Flash and about 100 ms median on v4 Turbo, excluding network, and Anchor hasn't measured either. No self-serve SLA. Nothing on billing for failed calls. Four. The typed 429s earn it, and the missing SLA and the queue-or-429 conflict are the caveat.
