Yes. Under the current ElevenReader introductory payout program, authors/publishers earn $1.10 for each unique engaged user of a title. (help.elevenlabs.io)

A “unique engaged user” is someone who adds the title to their library and listens for at least 11 minutes (ElevenLabs counts 150 words ≈ 1 audio minute). (help.elevenlabs.io)

Payouts are available globally if you opt in to engagement-based payouts and connect Stripe; the program was previously US-only. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Payments are issued every two weeks with a $10 minimum earnings threshold (unpaid amounts roll over). (help.elevenlabs.io)

Note: this is a time‑limited promotional payout period and may change in the future (e.g., to in‑app transactions or subscriptions). (help.elevenlabs.io)

When does it end?

There’s no published end date. The $1.10-per–unique engaged user is an introductory, time‑limited promotional payout, and ElevenLabs says participants will be notified before any change or transition to in‑app transactions/subscription-based payouts. For updates, check the Publishing Payment Terms, which are subject to change. (help.elevenlabs.io)
