The reason why ElevenLabs is so good is not because of the default voices, it's because it's so easy to train new voices. You only need a minute or two of someone speaking and it can mimic the voice pretty well, good enough to fool most people.

However their pricing is completely wrong, should be cheaper and offer more.

I found the pricing surprisingly reasonable (not affiliated)
I just noticed they improved the pricing a lot since last time I checked.

Before you had free, 10k a month & $22 a month for 60k, now they added $5 a month for 30k and $22 a month for 100k.

Attribution for free is pointless, as with custom voices in theory it would be hard to detect and enforce anyways.

few-shot learning for neural voices is over 3 years old now?
