Keep your ElevenLabs voice credits coming with a USDT-funded virtual card
Halfway through a voiceover, the credit counter hits zero and your bank card refuses the upgrade? Load a ScarabPay virtual card with USDT and buy the ElevenLabs plan you need from your account in a few minutes.
How ElevenLabs credits work
Every paid plan comes with a monthly credit quota. Knowing what spends credits and when they refresh helps you pick the right tier and time your top-ups.
What spends credits
Text to speech uses credits based on the length of your text and the model you choose. Dubbing, sound effects, voice changer and API calls draw from the same balance.
What happens at renewal
Each cycle adds a fresh quota. Unused credits roll over while you keep the same plan, up to a cap, and disappear after a downgrade or cancellation.
Upgrading for more
Running low before a deadline? An upgrade is charged in full now, restarts the cycle and carries your leftover credits into the bigger quota.
Why your card gets declined on ElevenLabs
A failed charge on ElevenLabs usually shows up at the worst moment: on the renewal date, or right when you press Upgrade to get more credits.
Your bank stops a foreign recurring charge
ElevenLabs bills from abroad and renews automatically. Many local banks treat that combination as risky and reject it, even when the first payment went through.
Pay with a ScarabPay virtual card, which is built for international online subscriptions, and keep it saved as the default payment method.
Not enough balance at renewal or upgrade
An upgrade charges the full price of the new plan immediately and starts a fresh billing cycle. If the card only holds the old plan's amount, the upgrade fails and so does the next renewal.
Before you click Upgrade or before the renewal date, load the card with the full price of the target plan plus a small buffer.
Billing name or address doesn't match
The payment form asks for cardholder name and address. A typo, a nickname or an old address can make the issuer decline the payment as a mismatch.
Copy the cardholder name and billing details exactly as they appear for your card in ScarabPay, then retry the checkout.

Register on the website or in the Android app and complete identity verification once.

- 6
Generate with your new credits
The plan's credits appear in your account. Requests made with your API key draw from the same account credits.
Which ScarabPay card should you use?
Virtual
ElevenLabs renews your plan from the saved card every month or year and charges it again whenever you upgrade. A reloadable virtual card stays on file, and you simply add USDT before each charge.
Lite
Lite is single-use. It could cover the first payment, but the renewal and any later upgrade would be declined, so it is not a good fit for an ElevenLabs subscription.
Tips so your payment goes through
- Check the next billing date under My Account → Subscription and top up the card a day or two before it.
- Planning to move from Creator to Pro? Fund the card with the full price of Pro, not just the difference between the two plans.
- If you switch on usage-based billing for extra credits, those charges land on the same card, so keep some balance on it during busy production weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use ElevenLabs audio in monetized YouTube videos or podcasts?
According to ElevenLabs, paid plans include a commercial license (features in beta are excluded), while content made on the free plan cannot be used commercially and needs attribution. Check their terms for the specific product you use.
Do API requests use the same credits as the website?
Yes. ElevenLabs deducts credits from your account when you call its API with your key, so scripts and apps spend the same balance you see in the dashboard.
What happens if I upgrade in the middle of the month?
You pay the new plan's price right away and a new billing cycle starts that day. Your unused credits move over to the new plan's quota.
Do unused credits carry over to next month?
If you stay on the same paid plan, unused credits roll over, capped at about two cycles' worth. They are lost when you downgrade or cancel, at the end of the cycle.
Can I pay for a yearly ElevenLabs plan with the virtual card?
Yes. Choose yearly billing on the Subscription page and load the card with the full annual amount shown at checkout before you confirm.
