# How much does it cost to generate sound effects?

The cost for generating sound effects varies based on the settings you choose, and whether you are using the website or API platform. The settings affect how many sound effects are produced and the duration of each sound effect.

For current rates, see [ElevenCreative](https://elevenlabs.io/pricing?price.section=sound_effects#pricing-table) and [ElevenAPI](https://elevenlabs.io/pricing/api).

The cost is not influenced by the text input you use.
