ElevenLabs Black Friday 2026: Creator annual drops to $99
Disclosure first
This page contains an affiliate link. If you subscribe through it, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The offer details below come from ElevenLabs' own affiliate notice of 11 November 2026 and their public pricing page, which we read on 1 November 2026. We have not run a paid plan ourselves.
The short answer
ElevenLabs runs its Black Friday deal from 16 November to 1 December 2026: 55% off annual plans, which puts the Creator plan at $99 for the year instead of about $220. Monthly subscribers on Pro can switch to annual at 50% off, and Business annual plans get three months free. If you were going to buy a year anyway, this is the cheapest window of 2026. If you were going to stay monthly, the discount is not a reason to lock in.
What the deal actually is
Three separate offers, all inside the same window (16 November to 1 December 2026):
- 55% off annual plans. Applies across the annual line, and takes Creator to $99 for a full year.
- 50% off for Pro subscribers who switch from monthly to annual. This one is only for existing monthly Pro accounts, which matters because Pro is where API users live.
- Three months free on Business annual. Worth roughly a quarter of the annual price if you are running a team workspace.
The discount is on the annual commitment, not on a trial or a first month. That is the whole shape of it: cheaper per month, but you pay for twelve months up front.
The numbers
| Plan | Normal monthly | Promo annual | What you save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | $22/mo, so about $264 a year | $99 for the year | About $165 a year, or 62% against monthly |
| Pro | $99/mo | 50% off annual when switching from monthly | Half of the annual list price |
| Business | $990/mo | Three months free on annual | About 25% of the annual price |
Two honest notes on that table. The "62% against monthly" figure is the fairest comparison for most readers, because almost everyone was going to pay monthly. The 55% headline compares the promo to the annual list price, which is what ElevenLabs advertises. Both are true, and they describe different things.
ElevenLabs had not published the exact Pro annual figure in the notice we received, so treat the Pro line as "roughly half" until you see the checkout number.
Is $99 for Creator actually a good deal
Creator is the plan that includes professional voice cloning and 121,000 credits a month. At the normal $22 a month you pay $264 across a year. At $99 you pay less than five months of the monthly price for twelve months of access.
That is a real saving, but only under one condition: you were going to use it for most of the year. If your project ends in February, paying $99 up front instead of $22 for two months is a $55 loss. The discount rewards commitment, not curiosity.
A second condition matters more for anyone publishing: the commercial licence is what you are buying, not the credits. Starter at $6 gives you the licence with 30,000 credits; Creator gives you the licence plus cloning plus four times the credits. If you only needed the licence, the discount does not change your answer.
What to do if you are already paying monthly
Check which plan you are on before 16 November, because the switching discount is not the same for every tier.
- On Creator monthly: the $99 annual offer is the one to take. No switch discount needed; the annual price is already the deal.
- On Pro monthly: the 50% annual switch is worth more than a straight annual purchase, so use the switch path rather than cancelling and resubscribing.
- On Business: three months free is the equivalent of the discount, and it applies to the annual plan only.
- On free or Starter: nothing to switch. Decide on usage, not on the discount.
The contest nobody asked about
ElevenLabs is running a #MoreThanVoice contest alongside the sale: $10,000 daily winners from 16 to 30 November and a $50,000 grand prize. Entry is free, open to free and paid users, and takes two steps: create something in ElevenCreative, then post it on two platforms with the hashtag and the watermark. It is a marketing campaign, but the prizes are real and the entry cost is a video you were making anyway.
Dates worth putting in a calendar
- 16 November 2026: sale opens, contest starts.
- 30 November 2026: last daily contest prize.
- 1 December 2026: sale and contest close.
The 16th is the day to buy if you have already decided, because ElevenLabs prices annual plans in dollars and the deal is not guaranteed to run to the last day.
