ElevenLabs Dubbing vs HeyGen Video Translate vs Rask AI: Real AI Video Translation Cost per 100 Hours in 2026

The short answer: the honest comparison at 100 hours (6,000 minutes) of dubbing is incomplete, because only two of the three platforms have a confirmed way to price usage at that scale. HeyGen bundles unlimited audio-only dubbing into its flat monthly plan at no extra credit cost, making it a confirmed flat $24–29/month for that specific shape. ElevenLabs has a confirmed overage rate once its small included allowance runs out — $0.30 per minute on its Multilingual model, $0.15 on Flash — which puts 6,000 minutes at roughly $1,810 (Multilingual) or $916 (Flash), including the $22 base plan. Rask AI's Creator plan includes only about 25 dubbed minutes for $60/month, and no public overage or top-up rate for additional minutes beyond that allowance was found in the sources reviewed; this article does not invent one, so Rask's cost at 100 hours of usage is QUOTE-ONLY / UNKNOWN. The moment lip-sync enters the picture, the comparison changes again: HeyGen's lip-sync is credit-metered separately, ElevenLabs has no lip-sync capability at all, and Rask AI locks lip-sync behind a separate, pricier $120/month Creator Pro tier.

What each vendor bills, and what "unlimited" actually covers

ElevenLabs Dub (REPORTED, cross-checked across multiple 2026 pricing comparisons, including a confirmed overage rate). Creator: $22/month, roughly 40 minutes of dubbing included when no other ElevenLabs features draw down the same shared credit pool. Once that allowance is exhausted, overage is billed at about $0.30 per minute on the Multilingual model or $0.15 per minute on the faster Flash model — a genuine, sourced scalable rate, not an extrapolation of the plan's blended included-minute price. Each target language is billed separately, consistent with ElevenLabs metering total characters or minutes generated regardless of which language they're generated in. ElevenLabs has no lip-sync capability at all; it produces a translated, voice-cloned audio track only, requiring a separate video editing step to sync it to picture. A cheaper Starter tier was reported around $5–6/month with a smaller included allowance and no overage billing at all on some Starter-tier descriptions (generation simply stops at the limit).

HeyGen Video Translate (REPORTED, cross-checked across multiple 2026 sources with one internal conflict on lip-sync rate). Creator: $24–29/month (sources conflict on the exact current price), and as of a 2026 pricing change, audio-only dubbing is unlimited on paid plans at no additional credit cost — a structurally different, genuinely flat-rate model, not a large included allowance that eventually runs out. As with any "unlimited" consumer software plan, this is presumably subject to HeyGen's standard fair-use and terms-of-service limits for automated or clearly abusive usage patterns, which this article's sources did not itemize. Lip-sync is credit-based, reported at roughly 5 credits per minute, converting to an effective rate reported as low as $0.24 per minute in one source and as high as $1.20 per minute in another — a 5x discrepancy this article could not resolve from the sources reviewed; confirm HeyGen's current credit-to-dollar conversion directly before budgeting a lip-sync-heavy project. Dubbing credits are shared with HeyGen's avatar-generation feature, so a team using both draws from one combined pool. HeyGen supports 175-plus languages, the broadest coverage of the three.

Rask AI (REPORTED for the plan structure; QUOTE-ONLY / UNKNOWN for usage beyond the included allowance). Creator: $60/month, approximately 25 dubbed minutes included. No public per-minute overage or top-up rate for additional minutes beyond that allowance was found in the sources reviewed for this article. Lip-sync is not included on the base Creator tier; it requires upgrading to Creator Pro at $120/month, and multi-speaker lip-sync is reported to consume one extra billed minute per minute of video for the minutes it does cover — but with no confirmed rate for minutes beyond either tier's included allowance, this article cannot calculate a real cost for 100 hours of Rask AI usage at any tier. Rask AI supports 130-plus languages with voice cloning.

Cost at 100 hours (6,000 minutes), audio-only dubbing, one target language

Formula: HeyGen = flat monthly fee (genuinely unmetered for this shape); ElevenLabs = plan fee + (minutes beyond the included allowance × confirmed overage rate); Rask AI = QUOTE-ONLY / UNKNOWN beyond its ~25-minute included allowance, no confirmed overage rate to calculate from.

At this volume and shape, HeyGen's flat-fee structure is confirmed to be dramatically cheaper than ElevenLabs' metered cost, though the exact multiple depends on which ElevenLabs model and HeyGen price point are compared: roughly 32–38 times cheaper versus ElevenLabs Flash ($916) and roughly 62–75 times cheaper versus ElevenLabs Multilingual ($1,810), for a combined range of about 32–75 times across the two ElevenLabs models and the $24–29 HeyGen price range — driven by HeyGen's decision to decouple audio-only dubbing from its credit meter entirely. Rask AI's relative position cannot be stated with the same confidence, because its cost at this volume is not calculable from public information; treat any claim that Rask is some specific multiple more expensive than HeyGen or ElevenLabs at 100 hours as unsupported until Rask publishes or confirms a scalable overage rate.

Cost at 100 hours, with lip-sync added

Formula: HeyGen = minutes × lip-sync effective rate (two conflicting reported rates); ElevenLabs is excluded, since it has no lip-sync capability at any price; Rask AI, Creator Pro = QUOTE-ONLY / UNKNOWN, for the same reason as above, with the added complication of the reported per-minute multi-speaker penalty compounding an already-unconfirmed base rate.

HeyGen's lip-sync cost, even at its higher reported rate, is a real, bounded number; Rask's is not, at either tier, for a 100-hour workload. This asymmetry itself is worth noting when comparing quotes: a vendor with a confirmed, if imperfectly sourced, scalable rate is easier to budget against than one whose plan structure simply doesn't publish pricing past a fairly small included allowance.

The per-language multiplier

This does not apply uniformly across all three platforms and shapes the way a single blanket rule would suggest. ElevenLabs bills each target language separately and this is confirmed in the sources reviewed — its credit or minute meter consumes the same rate per language, so a 5-language localization multiplies the ElevenLabs cost by 5. HeyGen's audio-only unlimited dubbing is not established as being metered per language in the sources reviewed; if it is genuinely unlimited regardless of output language count, multiplying its flat monthly fee by language count would overstate its real cost, so this article does not do so. HeyGen's credit-metered lip-sync and Rask AI's minute-metered dubbing were not confirmed, one way or the other, to scale per additional output language in the sources reviewed; this article does not assume either does or doesn't, and flags it as a genuine open question to confirm directly with each vendor before budgeting a multi-language project.

Sensitivity

1. Whether lip-sync is needed. The single largest structural decision in this comparison; it changes which platform is cheapest and by how much, and it is also where Rask's pricing becomes least knowable.
2. Which HeyGen lip-sync rate is real. The $0.24 versus $1.20 per-minute conflict is a 5x swing; confirm directly against HeyGen's current credit pricing before budgeting a lip-sync-heavy project.
3. Which ElevenLabs model is used for dubbing. Multilingual's $0.30/min overage rate is double Flash's $0.15/min, a real and controllable lever for cost-sensitive, quality-tolerant workloads.
4. Whether Rask AI publishes or privately confirms an overage rate. This single missing data point is the reason this article cannot state a confirmed 100-hour cost for Rask at all; a sales conversation may surface a rate that public sources do not.

Budgeting traps

• Assuming HeyGen's flat-fee advantage extends to lip-sync. It does not; lip-sync is separately credit-metered and the credit-to-dollar conversion carries a real, unresolved sourcing conflict.
• Treating a plan's included-minute allowance divided into its price as a scalable per-minute rate. That blended figure only describes cost inside the included allowance; it is not evidence of what minutes beyond it actually cost, and this article no longer uses that method for Rask AI specifically because no confirmed overage rate exists to validate it against.
• Missing Rask's multi-speaker lip-sync penalty. One extra billed minute per minute of video is reported to apply on top of whatever the true per-minute rate turns out to be.
• Comparing ElevenLabs' audio-only output to HeyGen's or Rask's lip-synced output as if they deliver the same finished product. ElevenLabs requires a separate video-editing step to sync the dubbed audio to picture; the other two do not.
• Multiplying every platform's cost by target-language count as a blanket rule. Confirmed only for ElevenLabs in the sources reviewed; assumed, not confirmed, for the other two.

What to ask before you buy

Ask Rask AI directly for its per-minute overage or top-up rate beyond a plan's included dubbed minutes; no public source in this article's research establishes one, which makes Rask the least budgetable of the three at real production volume. Confirm HeyGen's current lip-sync credit-to-dollar rate directly, given the 5x discrepancy across sources reviewed, and ask both HeyGen and Rask whether their per-minute or credit costs scale with each additional target language, since neither was confirmed one way or the other in this article's sources.
