Disclosure: ElevenLabs, Runway, Descript, Synthesia and Meshy links are affiliate links (marked). If you sign up through them I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. There are no paid placements, ever. Prices change often, so confirm on the official site.
I only list offers I’ve seen on the tool’s own official page, with the date I checked and a source link. Most of the time this page will be short or empty. That’s on purpose.
Current verified offers
ElevenLabs (affiliate link): first month off on Starter ($1) and Creator ($11)
Starter: $1 for the first month (83% off the normal $6/mo rate). Creator: $11 for the first month (50% off the normal $22/mo rate).
Source: elevenlabs.io/pricing, checked Oct 27, 2026. Their page says the Starter offer runs until Nov 1. The Creator offer shows no end date, so it could stop any time. Read my ElevenLabs review.
Synthesia (affiliate link): first month off on monthly Starter ($9) and Pro ($49)
Starter (monthly billing): $9 for the first month ($10 off the new $19/mo monthly rate, with 1,250 credits/mo; or $14/mo billed yearly). Pro (monthly billing): $49 for the first month (normally $89/mo).

Not deals
Annual-billing discounts (for example Claude, Runway, Ideogram, Descript, Otter.ai) are standard pricing, not limited-time offers, so they’re shown on each tool’s card instead.
Ways to pay less that aren’t deals
Real limited-time offers are rare. These everyday ways to save are more useful, and they come straight from the prices on my tool pages (checked Oct 2026).
| Tool | Monthly billing | Yearly billing |
|---|---|---|
| Otter.ai Pro | $16.99/mo | $8.33/mo |
| Descript Hobbyist | $24/mo | $16/mo |
| Ideogram Plus | $20/mo | $15/mo |
| Claude Pro | $20/mo | $17/mo |
| Synthesia Starter | $19/mo | $14/mo |
| Runway Standard | $15/mo | $12/mo |
Yearly plans only save money if you’ll still use the tool in month ten. If you’re not sure, pay monthly for a month or two first.
Free plans that go a long way
- Gemini and Gemini Notebook are free with a Google account.
- Claude, ChatGPT and Perplexity all have free plans with daily or usage limits.
- ElevenLabs gives 10k credits a month, and Meshy gives 100 credits a month.
- Lovable gives 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month.
Watch out for one-time credits
Some free plans give you credits once, and they never refill. Gamma gives 400 and Runway gives 125. Use them on a real project, not random tests.
Check what you already pay for
If you already pay for an Adobe plan, it may include Firefly credits. Google AI plans raise your limits in Gemini and Gemini Notebook. It’s worth a look before you buy something new.
