# A free ElevenLabs alternative for simple voiceovers

ToolSugar is our product. We are not affiliated with ElevenLabs. We checked its public pages on 2026-11-07, and its limits and prices can change.

ToolSugar's Text to Speech is a free ElevenLabs alternative for short voiceovers, with up to 3,000 characters per job and no credits to track. Eight language options have voices, and all of them run on your device. ElevenLabs is the better choice for voice cloning, long projects or a stated commercial licence.
