## How ElevenLabs Voice Isolator pricing and limits work

ElevenLabs prices Voice Isolator from the same monthly credit pool as its Text to Speech, Voice Changer, and Dubbing tools. According to ElevenLabs' Voice Isolator and pricing FAQs, Voice Isolator costs 1,000 credits (characters) for every minute of audio.

When you translate credits into minutes and hours of audio clean-up, three rules stand out:

- **1 hour and 500 MB per file on every plan:** From Free up to Pro ($99 a month), ElevenLabs caps each Voice Isolator upload at 1 hour and 500 MB. A 90-minute podcast episode or a 2 GB 4K camera file has to be split or compressed before you can upload it. Audo AI's Voice isolator takes audio and video files up to 10 GB without an account, and up to 10 hours when signed in.
- **About $10 to $12 an hour vs. $3.00 an hour:** At 1,000 credits a minute, ElevenLabs Starter ($6 a month for 30,000 credits) covers 30 minutes of audio, working out to $12.00 an hour, and Creator ($22 a month for 121,000 credits) covers 121 minutes, or about $10.91 an hour. Unused paid credits roll over for up to two months while subscribed, and expire if you cancel. On Audo AI, Voice isolator and Remove noise cost $3.00 an hour ($0.05 a minute) with no subscription, and credits never expire.
- **No slider for how much background to keep:** ElevenLabs runs Voice Isolator in a single fixed pass. Audo AI's Voice isolator includes a slider from Keep some background to Remove all, and if your recording also has hollow room echo, Audo's Audio enhancer and Remove echo let you dial in the exact strength.

## Separating speech vs. separating singing vocals from a song

ElevenLabs' Voice Isolator FAQ notes that its model is built for spoken voice and is "not designed or optimized" for music vocals. If you run a song through a speech-only isolator, the music is stripped out, but sustained singing notes and harmonies can sound clipped.

On Audo AI, speech and music each have their own dedicated tools:

- **For spoken voices: Voice isolator and Remove noise:** Keeps speaking voices as recorded and strips wind, traffic, café clatter, hum, and background music ($3.00 an hour, first minute free with no sign-up).
- **For video with dialogue and sound effects: Remove music from video:** Splits a video's soundtrack into dialogue, background music, and sound effects, returning your video with the music gone and footsteps, doors, and ambience kept ($4.80 an hour, first 45 seconds free).
- **For songs: Vocal remover and Stem splitter:** Runs a stereo music separation model to give you clean singing vocals and an instrumental backing track, or 4 stems (vocals, drums, bass, and other), for $4.80 an hour (first 45 seconds free).

## When ElevenLabs Voice Isolator is the better choice

Pick the tool that matches what you already pay for and how long your files are:

- **ElevenLabs Voice Isolator:** If you already subscribe to ElevenLabs for Text to Speech, voice cloning, or dubbing, have unused monthly credits sitting in your balance, and your file is under 1 hour and 500 MB, running it inside ElevenLabs costs you nothing extra.
- **Audo AI:** If you want to test a file immediately with no sign-up, clean a recording over 1 hour or a video over 500 MB (with the video picture returned untouched), separate singing vocals from a song, or pay $3.00 an hour with no monthly subscription.

## Isolate voices on files up to 10 hours and 10 GB

Drop an audio or video file into Audo's Voice isolator to strip noise, chatter, and music at $3.00 an hour with no subscription, or open Vocal remover for songs. Free to try. No sign-up.
