The offers at a glance
Both tools turn text into speech, for explainer videos, training, podcast intros or Reels. Neither deal is officially called Black Friday: Fish Audio runs a Halloween sale, ElevenLabs an introductory offer. As of November 4, 2026:
| Plan | Deal | Afterwards / regular | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| ElevenLabs Starter | $1 for the first month, 30,000 credits (about 30 minutes of speech) | $6 a month | Nov 8 |
| ElevenLabs Creator | $11 for the first month (50% off), 121,000 credits (about 121 minutes) | $22 a month | no date given |
| Fish Audio Plus | €59.50 for the first year (€4.96 a month), about 200 minutes a month | €13.49 a month | Nov 5, 08:00 UTC |
| Fish Audio Pro | €399.50 for the first year, about 1,620 minutes a month, 3 seats | €89.99 a month | Nov 5, 08:00 UTC |
ElevenLabs prices are in US dollars, excluding tax. Fish Audio also takes 50% off the first month on monthly plans (Plus €6.74). Minute figures are the vendors' estimates.
What the discounts are really worth
- ElevenLabs: The discount covers one month only. If you stay a full year, the annual plan is cheaper: it costs ten monthly payments, so $220 for Creator. The promo month plus eleven regular months adds up to $253.
- Fish Audio: The page advertises savings of €102.38, measured against twelve monthly payments. The regular annual plan includes three free months, so Plus works out to €121.41 a year. Against that, €59.50 is just over 50% off. From year two, the regular price applies.
- Credits: ElevenLabs rolls unused credits over for up to two months while your plan is active. Fish Audio credits reset every month.
The math: one hour of speech a month
Say you voice about 60 minutes a month, for training videos for example. ElevenLabs Starter covers about 30 minutes, so you need Creator: $220 on the annual plan, roughly $0.15 per included minute. Fish Audio Plus easily covers 60 minutes and costs €59.50 in the promo year, roughly €0.025 per included minute. That's a big gap, but it says nothing about voice quality in your language. You have to listen for yourself. According to its website, Fish Audio is operated by Hanabi AI Inc.
What this means for you
- One-month intro discounts are good for testing. If you stay a year, ElevenLabs' regular annual plan is cheaper.
- Fish Audio's annual discount is real: just over 50% off the regular annual price, but only for year one.
- Price per minute is only half the story. What matters is how natural the voice sounds for your use case.
How to use this
Voice the same one-minute script on both tools' free plans and play it to colleagues or clients. Then estimate how many minutes you need a month, and only then pick a plan and term.
Luigi's take
AI voices are an underrated part of the AI toolkit for professionals: an explainer video for clients or a training for your team is voiced faster than it is re-recorded. I don't use these two tools myself, so I'm only judging the prices. What stands out is how differently they pitch: one tempts you with a cheap first month, the other with a half-price first year. Neither is a bad deal, but both only pay off if you actually use the minutes.
My advice: start with the free plans (ElevenLabs about 10 minutes, Fish Audio about 7 minutes a month) and voice the same script with both. Only subscribe once one voice sounds good enough for your clients. And don't let a countdown rush you: Black Friday is November 27, and new deals are possible, though none have been announced.
