Dubbing your YouTube videos into other languages is one of the fastest ways to reach new audiences. The tool you pick can swing your monthly cost from $0 to nearly $1,000. Here is how the pricing looks for ElevenLabs and HeyGen, plus how Rask and Kapwing fit in.
**HeyGen pricing (GenCost data)**
- Free: $0/mo · 3 videos
- Creator: $29/mo · 600 credits
- Pro: $49/mo · 1000 credits
HeyGen is built around avatar and video translation with lip-sync. The free plan is good for testing a single clip. Creator and Pro both work out to roughly $0.05 per credit, so the choice mostly comes down to how many videos you translate each month.
**ElevenLabs pricing (GenCost data)**
- Free: $0/mo · 10,000 credits
- Starter: $6/mo · 30,000 credits
- Creator: $22/mo · 121,000 credits
- Pro: $99/mo · 600,000 credits
- Scale: $299/mo · 1,800,000 credits
- Business: $990/mo · 6,000,000 credits
ElevenLabs is the strongest option if voice quality and voice cloning matter most. Starter costs about $0.20 per 1,000 credits. Creator drops to about $0.18, and Pro and above settle around $0.165. Creator is the best entry point for regular YouTubers, since you get a big credit jump for $22/mo.
**Rask and Kapwing**
Rask is a dedicated video localization tool, and Kapwing is a general editor with AI dubbing and subtitles built in. We don't list Rask or Kapwing prices here, so check their current plans on GenCost before you decide. Kapwing makes sense if you already edit in it. Rask makes sense if you want a translation-first workflow.
**Quick picks**
- **Cheapest to start:** ElevenLabs Free (10,000 credits) or Starter ($6/mo).
- **Best for lip-sync and avatars:** HeyGen Creator ($29/mo).
- **Best value for regular uploads:** ElevenLabs Creator ($22/mo).
- **Best all-in-one editing:** Kapwing, but verify current pricing.
Credits are not equal across tools. HeyGen credits and ElevenLabs credits measure different things, so compare the cost of one finished, dubbed video rather than the credit counts.
