Jellypod vs. ElevenLabs: Everything You Need to Know

If you've spent any time in generative AI space, you've heard of ElevenLabs.

They are the dominant player and the leading model provider for high-quality and realistic AI voice generation. Over the last year, they've released a conversational V3 model, an amazing music generation model, and a lot of really cool audio-first products that blow many competitors out of the water.

Jellypod, on the other hand, was built specifically for businesses and creators who want to create a successful podcast using AI. It's a fundamentally different philosophy and is an end-to-end podcast studio that enables you to go from idea to a published episode on Spotify in under 30 minutes.

If you're a developer or audio pro who just needs a perfect voice or a finished script, ElevenLabs is the right choice. But if you're looking for one platform to create realistic AI podcasts, Jellypod handles everything from voice cloning, podcast research, script writing and global distribution.

This comparison will break down the key differences:

1. The Foundry vs. The Studio Philosophy
2. Creating a High Quality Voice
3. ElevenLabs Projects vs. Jellypod
4. Distributing your Audio

An Voice Foundry vs. The Podcast Studio

ElevenLabs has perfected the art of creating AI audio components. The platform is a powerful toolkit for professional filmmakers, advertisers, and audiobook producers who need top-tier voice assets to plug into their existing complex workflows.

We think of ElevenLabs as a voice foundry. Their platform provides you with high-quality raw materials: voices, sound effects, dubbing, (and conversational agents), which you can do anything with.

Jellypod takes a difference approach to AI audio generation. We believe that for 99% of creators, the bottleneck isn't finding a good voice—it's everything else.

If you want to create a podcast, many people don't even know where to start. You have some content you want to talk about, but how do you get that onto Spotify? How do you edit out all the ums and background noise? Or, my personal struggle, what if I don't know somebody else who I can talk to about my topic?

Jellypod's platform is an AI podcast studio that's designed to eliminate the friction of producing a podcast, going from idea to episode in under an hour. You don't just get the raw materials, you get the entire assembly line.

Differences in Voice Creation

Both platforms offer an extensive list of high-quality voices and features like voice cloning. ElevenLabs is focused on technical perfection. You upload audio, and it creates a near-perfect digital replica of that voice. This can be used individually or inside a project to create short or long form audio content.

In Jellypod, voice selection is just a starting point in creating a realistic podcast host.

When you create a host in Jellypod, you're not just picking a voice. You're giving them a name, a backstory, and personality traits that influence their delivery and how they talk in your podcast. This process creates hosts that are not only realistic, but consistent and memorable. We often refer to this as character consistency or character development.

This is a core difference in how people use Jellypod versus how many professional workflows may be better suited for ElevenLabs, like AI dubbing.

ElevenLabs Projects vs. Jellypod

A lot of people ask, can't I use ElevenLabs Projects for longer form audio creation?

Totally. ElevenLabs Projects is a powerful feature that's designed to bring written content to life with their AI voices. It's built for turning finished pieces of writing, like a book, article, or script, into high-quality audio. It's great if you already have a finalized script and know exactly what you want to create.

Jellypod starts earlier in the creative process.

It's designed for people who don't already have a finished script but have raw source content such as blogs, PDFs, or websites that should be transformed into a podcast. Based on that user-provided source material, Jellypod researches, synthesizes, and drafts a conversational script between your AI hosts, that's fully editable.

You Have an MP3. Now What?

Now that you have some audio, it's up to you what you want to do with it.

In Jellypod, distribution is simple. With a single click, you can publish your generated podcast to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other major podcast platform that supports RSS. In addition, every podcast gets its own custom website that hosts all of your episodes, and an audiogram video that is perfect for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube. If you don't want to distribute it through Jellypod directly, you can download the MP3 audio file and MP4 video.

In ElevenLabs, you can download the generated audio and do whatever you want with it. If you want to distribute it as a podcast on Spotify, you'll have to set up a separate hosting provider (like our friends at Transistor) to get it out into the world.

Final Decision

Both Jellypod and Eleven Labs are industry leaders when it comes to audio production. They both support dozens of languages and accents, high-quality audio, and voice cloning, but the right tool depends entirely on what you're trying to accomplish.

• Choose ElevenLabs if you need AI-generated voices for a pre-written script or professional audio production.
• Choose Jellypod if you want a complete AI-powered podcast studio that handles voice creation, scriptwriting, editing, and one-click distribution.
