Short answer:

• Sound Effects pricing is credit-based and documented in the Help Center, not broken out as a separate line on the plan table. See the per‑generation/per‑second credit costs and Studio SFX credit usage here. (help.elevenlabs.io, elevenlabs.io)
• Extended audio quality/sample‑rate availability is reflected on the public Pricing page under “Audio quality” and “API formats,” and in the official docs/help pages listing supported formats and plan gating. (elevenlabs.io, help.elevenlabs.io)

Where to check, with links:

• Sound Effects credit pricing:
  • How much does it cost to generate sound effects? (website vs API credit costs). (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Studio SFX usage (Auto = 200 credits; Manual = duration‑based). (elevenlabs.io)
• Pricing page (plan table shows audio quality and API formats; e.g., 192 kbps on Creator+, 44.1 kHz PCM via API on Pro+). (elevenlabs.io)
• Supported formats and tier gating:
  • TTS/Text‑to‑Dialogue “Supported formats” (lists MP3, PCM, μ‑law, A‑law, Opus; notes higher‑quality options require paid tiers). (elevenlabs.io)
  • What audio formats do you support? (details by product and plan; includes MP3 192 kbps availability and PCM 44.1 kHz/48 kHz notes). (help.elevenlabs.io)
• Recent extension to formats:
  • Changelog: Opus format at 48 kHz added March 31, 2025; A‑law (8 kHz) added April 7, 2025. (elevenlabs.io)
• If you need $ pricing for extra credits over plan limits (to cost out SFX generations), see usage‑based billing price per 1,000 credits by tier. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you want, tell me your plan and whether you’ll generate SFX via website or API, and I can translate the above into an exact $/generation estimate using the usage‑based credit rates.

I'm on creator currently and am Interested in using the the 48khz flag in the API but I'm worried about tanking my credits for more quality.

Short answer: using a 48 kHz output format in the Text-to-Speech API does not, by itself, increase credit usage. Credits for TTS are based on the model and how much text you synthesize, not the audio container/bitrate/sample rate.

Key points verified in docs:

• Credit burn for TTS:
  • Flash/Turbo models: 0.5 credit per text character (self‑serve plans).
  • Multilingual/English v1/v2 models: 1 credit per text character.
  • Docs define credits by plan, product, and model; they do not list output_format, bitrate, or sample rate as cost multipliers. (help.elevenlabs.io)
• Formats and access by plan:
  • The TTS API supports multiple output formats; Opus is available at 48 kHz (e.g., opus_48000_128). (elevenlabs.io)
  • MP3 192 kbps is allowed on Creator. PCM 44.1 kHz via API is a Pro‑tier feature. These are access gates, not per‑request credit multipliers. (elevenlabs.io)
• How to request 48 kHz:
  • Use the output_format query parameter in the Create speech endpoint. Formats follow codec_sampleRate_bitrate, so a typical Opus request is output_format=opus_48000_128. (elevenlabs.io)
• Studio-only exception:
  • In ElevenLabs Studio (not the TTS API), raising quality_preset (high/ultra/ultra lossless) does increase credit cost by 20–100%. This does not apply to the TTS API’s output_format. (elevenlabs.io)
• If you do run over credits on Creator:
  • You can enable usage‑based billing; on Creator it’s $0.30 per 1,000 additional credits, with a user‑settable cap/threshold. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Bottom line: On Creator, switching to Opus 48 kHz should not “tank” your credits; your burn rate is driven by the model and characters. If you specifically need PCM output at high sample rates via API, that requires Pro or higher. (help.elevenlabs.io, elevenlabs.io)
