The short version.

€29/mo for 1.2M credits works out to €24.17 per 1M characters on standard voices (€48.34 on premium V3 voices, 2 credits a character); ElevenLabs Creator is $22 for 121K characters, about $182 per 1M

2,000 free credits + 250 a day, no credit card. Resets daily, not once a month like ElevenLabs' 10,000

32 languages, including Estonian and Slovenian, which ElevenLabs does not list on v2, Flash v2.5 and v3

Monthly billing, list prices. Audexum in EUR, ElevenLabs in USD, not FX-converted; the gap is wide enough that exchange-rate movement does not change the conclusion. 1 Audexum credit = 1 character; ElevenLabs credits equal characters on Multilingual v2 and go further on their Flash models. Both sides also sell annual billing at a discount. Check the source link before relying on any number here.

Why choose Audexum.

ElevenLabs has the deepest voice-cloning catalogue on the market, and you pay for that across every line of your bill.

Audexum makes a different trade. We clone voices too (from a spoken consent phrase, on every paid plan), but the core of what we ship is 43 already-good voices in 32 languages over a REST API, at a price an indie dev can afford. €29/mo gets you 1,200,000 credits: enough for a podcast intro generator, a Discord bot, an accessibility layer, or a content pipeline that needs to keep its margins.

No VC pressure to raise prices. EU-hosted, GDPR-native. If you need enterprise terms, talk to us at [email protected].

Two lines of code.

Same REST shape. Same JSON in, audio out. Point it at our URL with your Audexum key.

Questions, answered.

Does Audexum do voice cloning?

Yes. You record a short consent phrase aloud and we build the clone from that recording. Pro includes 10 voices, Scale 25, Business 100; the free tier does not include cloning. You may only clone your own voice or one you hold documented permission to use, and every generated file carries an inaudible AI watermark.

Why is it so much cheaper?

Three reasons: no VC overhead, owned EU infrastructure (not cloud markup), and the underlying models (Kokoro + Supertonic-3) are open weights. We pay for inference compute and engineering, not someone else's margin.

What about audio quality?

Audexum uses Kokoro-82M (one of the most-loved open TTS models of 2025) and Supertonic-3 for the multilingual voices. Sample everything before committing.

Can I switch back if I don't like it?

Yes. Your ElevenLabs account doesn't go anywhere. The API change is two lines. Switch back the same way.

Is there a SLA?

Audexum targets 99.5%+ uptime on EU-hosted infrastructure. No formal SLA contract today. If you need enterprise SLAs, talk to us at [email protected].
