Yo when adding an eleven labs voice id into my vapi agent will it charge my eleven labs account ? Or costs stay in vapi platform ???

If you add your own ElevenLabs API key to Vapi and use an ElevenLabs voice ID, the usage costs will be billed directly to your ElevenLabs account—not through Vapi. Vapi will not charge you for ElevenLabs TTS usage if your API key is validated; instead, you pay ElevenLabs directly for those services. To set this up, enter your ElevenLabs API key in the Vapi dashboard under the Provider Keys section. Reference: "Once your API key is validated, you won’t be charged when using that provider through Vapi. Instead, you’ll be charged directly by the provider."

I did not add api key I just put the eleven labs voice id .

If you only enter an ElevenLabs voice ID in Vapi without adding your own API key, the documentation does not specify whether Vapi will use its own ElevenLabs account or if the feature will work at all. For full control and to ensure correct billing, it's recommended to add your ElevenLabs API key in the Vapi dashboard under the Provider Keys section. If you need a concrete answer about default billing or functionality, please contact Vapi support directly for clarification.

Hi Ronan, If you're looking to set up a custom ElevenLabs voice with Vapi, you'll need to follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have an API subscription from ElevenLabs. You can choose a suitable plan from the [ElevenLabs pricing page](https://elevenlabs.io/pricing). 2. Obtain your API key from the 'Profile + Keys' section on the ElevenLabs website. 3. Enter your ElevenLabs API key in the [Vapi Provider Key section](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/keys) under the ElevenLabs section. 4. Save the changes, and your voice library should sync automatically. 5. After syncing, search for your cloned voice in the "voices" tab in the assistants page to use it with your assistant. For any issues or errors, ensure your API keys and subscriptions are correctly set up and check for any specific end reasons related to ElevenLabs in the call logs if applicable. Let me know if there's anything else you need.
