Choose by the job

These solve different parts of the same content job. ElevenLabs makes narration. Fliki combines voice and scenes into a video. Compare the output you need before comparing credits.

ElevenLabs: what our free account showed

10,000 credits a month, the full voice controls, and up to 3 Studio projects. No credit card to start. The free plan is real and the voice is good enough to judge honestly. Use it to test voices, prototype and learn Studio. Pay for Starter the day the audio will make money.

Fliki: what our free account showed

3 credits a month, 300 voices across 80+ languages, and 720p watermarked exports. No card to start. A real free tool, not a demo. We made and exported a finished, voiced video for $0. Use it to test voices, learn the workflow, and make personal videos. For monetized videos, ads, or client work, check the paid commercial license first.

What each free plan stops you doing

ElevenLabs: The license, not the voice. ElevenLabs says free-plan output is for noncommercial use with attribution. Put it in a monetized video, an ad, a funnel or client work and you need a paid plan - Starter at $6/month is the first one with a commercial license. The 10,000 credits are also shared across every tool, so they are not 10,000 of everything, and unused free credits do not roll over.

Fliki: Credits depend on workflow and edits. Regenerating after four added words used 0.23 credits in our filmed rerun, nearly the initial 0.24-credit voice take. Free exports are 720p with a watermark; commercial rights come with paid plans.

Which one should you test first?

Choose ElevenLabs to test a voice track. Choose Fliki to test a script-to-video workflow. Neither free plan is a shortcut to verified commercial publishing.
