The Key Difference

ElevenLabs does audio. Dubly.AI does the full video.

ElevenLabs was built as an audio platform — good for text-to-speech, audiobooks, and voice cloning. But professional video dubbing requires more than just translated audio: you need automatic timing adjustment, lip sync, multi-speaker detection, and visual output. Dubly.AI delivers the complete end-to-end video workflow that ElevenLabs simply wasn't designed for.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Same video. Same speaker. Different technology.

Dubly (right) translates your real footage with perfect lip sync. ElevenLabs handles audio only — no video output, no lip sync.

Industry leaders choose Dubly.AI

"The software is really easy to use, and the support for larger projects is excellent! Super friendly, helpful, and solution-oriented — especially when things get a bit more complex."

Paul

"A simple tool that regularly saves me time — and especially money — for my own clients! The interface is easy to understand, Simon replies super quickly when I have questions, and everything just works smoothly."

Dominik

"We tested at least 10 different video translation platforms — and despite the higher price, we chose Dubly. The quality is nearly perfect, apart from a few minor details or specialized terms. Keep up the great work!"

Johann

"Dubly.AI has been a huge help in translating my video content into another language (Spanish). I do speak Spanish myself, but the tool saves me a massive amount of time. The results are great. A clear recommendation from me. If you're unsure — just give it a try!"

"Best tool on the market. At Durchgedreht Media, we use Dubly.AI as a translation solution for our clients. Everything works perfectly, the interface is very intuitive, and the pricing is fair! We highly recommend this tool."

Jan

Jan

"I tried Dubly.AI to translate a video — and I'm genuinely impressed! The translation was accurate and sounded natural — far better than I expected. Dubly.AI helped me make my content more accessible to others, so I can only recommend giving it a try!"

Fabian

"As a service provider for a large company, I was responsible for having several online courses translated. Initially, we planned to hire a voice actor, as I was quite skeptical about AI. But the test results were so convincing that we've now translated nearly 60 videos using Dubly."

Tobias

"I use the platform for voice-overs in other languages — and it works surprisingly well, especially compared to other providers offering similar services. In some languages like French, it's clear that Dubly.AI really delivers great quality."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about choosing between Dubly.AI and ElevenLabs for AI-powered translation. If your question isn't covered, just drop us a message

Dubly.AI is an end-to-end video translation platform with lip sync, voice cloning, and video output. ElevenLabs is an audio-only tool specializing in text-to-speech and voice cloning — it does not produce video or lip sync.

No. ElevenLabs is purely audio-based. It excels at text-to-speech and voice cloning but cannot generate video output or synchronize lip movements. Dubly.AI provides lip sync with a benchmark score of 96.4.

ElevenLabs is widely considered industry-leading for standalone voice cloning and TTS. Dubly.AI offers voice cloning as part of its end-to-end video dubbing pipeline — integrated with lip sync and translation.

Not directly. ElevenLabs produces audio files only. You would need to manually sync the audio to your video using separate editing tools. Dubly.AI handles the entire pipeline automatically.

Dubly.AI is GDPR-compliant with German servers and no AI training on customer data. ElevenLabs operates from US servers (New York) with an opt-out model for AI training.

ElevenLabs starts at ~$5/month for TTS-only use — significantly cheaper for audio tasks. Dubly.AI starts at €89/month but delivers complete video translation with lip sync, which ElevenLabs cannot do at any price.
