Minimax is the alternative premium tier. It exposes controls ElevenLabs does not — explicit pitch, volume and speed, plus a language boost that improves pronunciation when the text is in a language the voice was not primarily trained on.
The HD model tiers cost 15% more than turbo, mirroring the upstream difference rather than hiding it in a flat rate. For Chinese and other Asian languages, Minimax frequently outperforms the more expensive alternatives.
