ElevenLabs sells its agent platform as monthly plans with minutes included rather than pure metering. The free plan gives 15 call minutes and 4 concurrent calls, Starter costs $6 a month for 75 minutes, Creator $22 for 275, and Pro $99 for 1,238 minutes with 20 concurrent calls; extra minutes are $0.08, and the LLM and telephony are billed at cost on top. The builder covers system prompts, knowledge bases, workflows and tools, and the same agent can answer phone calls, web chat, WhatsApp, SMS and email without losing context. Guardrails, simulations and automated tests help you check an agent before a client hears it, and analytics track success rate and CSAT. The voice catalog is the main reason many teams start here. For an agency billing per minute, the included-minute plans are simple to resell, but low concurrency on cheaper tiers and Enterprise-only BAAs limit it for busy or regulated lines.
