ELEVENLABS ALTERNATIVE
Like ElevenLabs, but multi-modal.
ElevenLabs is the gold standard for ultra-realistic voice synthesis. Runcrate offers competitive open TTS models (Qwen3-TTS, Kokoro, Orpheus) at a fraction of the price — plus full multi-modal coverage: chat, image, video, transcription, all under one OpenAI-compatible API.

WHY SWITCH
Why teams switch to Runcrate.
200+ models, one API key
Chat, code, image, video, audio, embeddings, vision — all under a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with per-token / per-image / per-second billing.
OpenAI-compatible drop-in
Swap the base URL and your existing OpenAI SDK code keeps working. No custom client library, no rewrite, no lock-in.
Inference + GPU rentals
When the API isn't enough, rent a dedicated H100, H200, or B200 from the same account — same billing, same dashboard, no separate vendor.
Per-second billing, no minimums
Pay only for what you use. No hourly bucketing, no commitment, no idle charges. Prepaid credits never expire.
