Reading it
Once the promotion ends, v4 Turbo is price-equal to Flash/Turbo, so the choice is about latency and expression, not cost. ElevenLabs' launch post puts v4 Turbo's median time to first speech at about 150 ms and says both v4 models cover more than 90 languages. Keep the regular column in a budget; the promotion is a launch offer. Per-script math is in script cost by length and the half-price question in v4 Turbo vs v4.
