ElevenLabs, the company that offers automated AI-voice generated audiobook production, has consolidated their services under the brand Audiobooks in ElevenCreative. The move signals the well-funded company's commitment to the sector, or what Madeline Shue, head of growth and publisher partnerships at ElevenLabs, called a "doubling-down on audiobooks."
ElevenLabs has now organized their services into three tiers. The first, is a free option where authors upload e-books and they are automatically converted to an audiobook to be listened to on the ElevenReader platform, with authors earning 60% on direct sales plus $0.20/hour streamed. The second is a self-directed suite, typically costing $100-200 to create an audiobook where creators select narrators, can clone voices, add multicast capabilities and music/SFX, then export files for wide distribution or publish directly through Spotify, InAudio, and ElevenReader integrations. And the third is a "human-in-the-loop" service, where producer teams in 13+ languages handle all aspects of production, from casting and direction, to editing, post-production, and quality control.
The company, which is based in the U.K., now works in 32 languages and has a full voice library of 1,000 voices, including celebrities like Michael Caine, and in multiple languages including Spanish. "The goal," Shue said, "is to get to 6,000 voices."
Last week, ElevenLabs raised an additional $500M Series D funding, valuing the company at $11 billion, nearly double the $6.6 billion the company had been valued at in September 2025. It is hosting its annual summit for audio creatives and enterprises in London this Wednesday.
