Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
The reviewed non-EEA terms limit free use to non-commercial purposes; paid use may be commercial subject to policies and supplemental terms. Users retain input/output rights as between the parties, not the underlying model. Necessary recording/voice permissions remain required. Content and user voice models carry broad perpetual platform licenses; training opt-out takes effect after processing and does not undo prior uses. Voice Library sharing has additional fees/conditions, requires your own voice and permission, and removal notice periods can preserve access and existing outputs. EEA/enterprise terms may differ; no default zero-retention or open-weight license is established.

Overview
Eleven v3 is now documented as a previous-generation model, while Eleven v4 is separate. It remains listed for Text to Speech and Text to Dialogue, with audio tags for emotions, delivery and non-verbal reactions. The published v3 API limit is 5,000 characters per request. Tags and punctuation guide delivery; SSML break tags are not supported. Voice choice and text need auditioning and review. This entry covers v3, not v3 Conversational, the newer v4 family or a complete ElevenAgents deployment.
