Full Comparison
| Criterion | ElevenLabs | eMastered |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free tier; Starter from ~$5 / month Commercial rights start with the paid Starter tier. API from around $300 per million characters at low volume. | From $156 / year Paid once for twelve months. Also $19 a month on a twelve-month commitment, or $49 a month with no commitment. |
| Free trial | Free tier, restricted | Free 20-second preview, plus a 14-day refund |
| Commercial use | From the paid Starter tier | Yes |
| Output | Realistic narration, voice cloning from a sample of around one minute, 70+ languages, dubbing | Mastered music tracks and separated stems |
| What it does | Sound effects, in a tool of their own | Mastering finished music mixes, with stem separation and distribution around it |
| Noise removal and repair | Voice Isolator, which separates voice from background | No, the engine masters a completed mix rather than repairing a damaged recording |
| Mastering and loudness | No, there is no mastering or loudness stage; the audio tools generate and clean up material rather than finish a mix | Yes, unlimited mastering of WAV, AIFF and MP3 mixes, including reference mastering against a track you supply |
| Where it runs | Web app plus API; the sound effects generator and the model behind Voice Isolator are both reachable programmatically | In the browser: upload a finished stereo mix, hear a 20-second preview, then download the master |
| Also included | AI music generation and a soundboard generator, alongside the text to speech and voice cloning the rest of the platform is built on | Stemify separation into six stems, unlimited distribution to major streaming and download platforms, the ATOM synthesizer plugin and a Linkify link-in-bio page |
| API | Yes | Only on request: the published plans carry no API, and the fair usage policy points labels and collectives to support@emastered.com for an enterprise-grade plan that adds API access. No public documentation |
