    6 apps for a cloned voice you own

    ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Inworld, Descript, Versely, and Resemble clone a voice you own. Consent first. Pick by instant clone, studio clone, or credits.

    A cloned voice is a recording you have the right to use, compressed into a speaker. Six apps will take that sample. ElevenLabs is instant cloning on Starter and professional cloning on Creator. Cartesia is instant cloning on Pro and professional cloning on Startup. Inworld clones on On-Demand and treats professional cloning as a later add-on. Versely clones on a credit row, then speaks on a TTS row. Descript clones inside the editor you already cut in. Resemble is a rapid clone from a short sample. This page is that list. It is not a celebrity-voice marketplace. It is not a way to sound like someone who did not say yes.

    If you do not own the voice, stop. A Terms checkbox is not a release. Record yourself, or get a signed consent that names cloning, languages, and commercial use.

    What "a cloned voice you own" actually is

    Three files get collapsed into one sentence.

    The sample. Clean speech, the register you will actually deploy, no music bed, no second talker. Isolation first. A cafe take becomes a cafe clone.

    The voice id. Instant clones are fast and brittle. Professional clones take more audio and hold up across long scripts. They are different products on most of these apps, often on different plans.

    The generate. Cloning is not speech. After the id exists, a TTS row still has to read the script. Some apps hide that as one button. The bill is still two steps.

    Do not clone a noisy take and hope the model "hears through" the fridge. Isolate the voice before you clone it is the order. The clone learns whatever you feed it.

    The six apps

    1. ElevenLabs. Start here if you already live in that studio and the clone is the brand. ElevenLabs pricing (read 20 September 2026) puts instant voice cloning on Starter at $6 a month (30k credits, commercial license). Professional Voice Cloning sits on Creator at $22 a month (121k credits, $11 the first month). Scale at $299 adds three professional clones and three seats. Instant is the short-sample door. Professional is the long-sample door. Do not buy Creator because the first month is $11 if you only needed instant cloning on Starter. Credits are shared with TTS, music, and dubbing. A clone that you then overuse on music will starve speech.

    2. Cartesia. Open Cartesia when the clone has to speak through Sonic, or when $5 is the seat you actually wanted. Cartesia pricing (read 20 September 2026) puts instant voice cloning on Pro at $5 a month with 100k credits (about 133 Sonic-3.6 minutes). Professional voice cloning starts on Startup at $49 a month with 1.25M credits. Localizing a voice is 225 credits per added accent on that table. Cartesia is a clone plus a low-latency TTS stack. It is not a transcript editor. If you needed to cut a podcast by deleting words, that is Descript.

    3. Inworld. Open Inworld when the clone is a persona you will steer in natural language, not a flat double of a VO session. Inworld pricing (read 20 September 2026) includes voice cloning and voice design on On-Demand (TTS-2 at $25 per 1M characters, up to 70 minutes of TTS included, 100 custom voices). Professional voice cloning is listed as an add-on on Developer at $300 a month, then one included professional clone on Growth at $1,500. That $300 line is a credit grant and a rate discount, not a 300-person seat. Instant cloning is available before you ever see Developer. Do not climb the ladder to unlock a sample clone you already had on On-Demand.

    4. Versely. The sample is often 30 seconds you already own, and the next script should not require a second voice company. AI voice cloning is the door. Cartesia Voice Clone is the published clone row: 8 credits from an uploaded sample. That id is not speech yet. Read new lines on Cartesia Sonic 3.5 at 4 credits per 1,000 characters. If you did not need a likeness at all, Inworld TTS 2 at 2 credits per 1,000 characters is a stock persona, not a clone. Do not treat 8 credits as a dollar price. This is not ElevenLabs Professional Voice Cloning and not Descript Overdub inside a transcript. It is an id on the same pool as the video.

    5. Descript. Open Descript when the clone has to live inside the transcript you already edit. Independent reads of Descript's pricing page (Hobbyist $16 per person per month billed annually / $24 monthly, 10 media hours, 400 AI credits; Creator $24 / $35, 30 hours, 800 credits) put custom voice clones on paid Hobbyist-class plans. Confirm the live page the day you buy. Descript is the app when you recorded eight minutes in a quiet room, you want Overdub to fix a sentence, and you do not want a second voice dashboard. It is the wrong app if you never recorded. Studio Sound will not invent a clone from a blank timeline.

    6. Resemble. Open Resemble when the sample is short and you want a rapid clone as a product feature, not a creative-studio seat. Resemble's rapid voice cloning page describes Rapid Clone from about 10 seconds of audio in under a minute, and Professional Clone from 10 to 25-plus minutes of audio. Resemble's public pricing page has been shifting toward Detect and security SKUs. Confirm voice-generation rates on that page the day you buy. Do not quote a 2025 per-second TTS number as if it were still on the card. Resemble is a builder tool. It is a bad first click if you wanted a Murf timeline.

    How to pick without cloning twice

    Write one sentence: whose voice, how much clean audio you have, where the script will be read.

    • You have 30 seconds and you already use ElevenLabs: Instant on Starter.
    • You have 30 minutes and the clone is the channel: ElevenLabs Creator professional clone, or Cartesia Startup, or Inworld's professional add-on if you were already on that API.
    • You have a Cartesia-shaped stack and a $5 budget: Cartesia Pro instant clone.
    • You edit in Descript and you need to patch a sentence: Descript.
    • You have a sample and a Versely credit pool: Cartesia Voice Clone, then a TTS row.
    • You are shipping a product that clones users: Resemble, after you read the current pricing page.

    Two clones of the same person on two apps is how you lose the source of truth. Pick one id. Generate from that id. Do not "just in case" a second professional clone on a $300 plan.

    Consent stays with the file. If the talent leaves, the clone is not a loophole. Delete it.

    After the clone exists

    Generate a 15-second proof, not a 10-minute chapter. Listen on headphones for fridge, lisp, and swallowed product names. Spell names the way they should be said.

    The clone is still a wav. If a mouth has to match, that is lipsync, not cloning. If mute viewers have to read, that is captions.

    When the sample is clean and yours, sign up and run the clone row. When the clone already lives in ElevenLabs or Descript, stay there. The list is six apps. The voice is one person.

    FAQ

    Can I clone a voice from a podcast I like?

    No. Liking a podcast is not a license. Clone a voice you own or a voice with a written release that names AI cloning. The ELVIS Act and platform rules are not theoretical.

    Instant clone or professional clone?

    Instant is a short sample and a fast id. Professional is more audio and a more stable speaker. If the job is a 15-second ad, instant is often enough. If the job is a weekly 10-minute narrator, pay for professional on the app you already use.

    Why is Versely fourth, not first?

    Because this page is the sample you own, not a homepage. Cartesia Voice Clone is a real 8-credit row. It is not ElevenLabs Professional Voice Cloning and it is not Descript Overdub. If the sample is already in those apps, you do not need Versely to clone it again.
