Voice data buyers and marketplaces
Of the companies we track, five publish a route that can carry voice recordings: Labelbox Prism licenses consented voice data directly, Defined.ai, AWS Data Exchange and Datarade run marketplaces, and ElevenLabs pays royalties on cloned voices. None publishes a price per hour of audio. Below is what each one does publish, from its own pages.
Sell Voice Data is independent. None of these companies is affiliated with us or endorses our work.

Who buys voice data, and what do they publish?
Listed alphabetically. "Not published" means the company's page was silent on the point; it never means zero.
| Company | Route | Voice and audio | Published pay | Per hour of audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Data Exchange Data provider listings on AWS Marketplace | Marketplace listing | Audio is among the formats listed | The provider sets its own price; no payout figures published | not published |
| Datarade Marketplace provider plans | Marketplace listing | Data types accepted: not published on the page read | The provider sets its own price | not published |
| Defined.ai AI Marketplace partnerships for data suppliers | Marketplace listing | Speech appears in its catalog of datasets for sale; which kinds of data it takes from suppliers is not stated | not published | not published |
| ElevenLabs Voice Library voice actor payouts | Usage royalty | Professional voice clones shared in its Voice Library. This pays for use of a cloned voice in its product, not for selling recordings to train models | Earnings based on use by paid users (free users excluded); no per-character rate published | not published |
| Labelbox Prism data licensing | Direct license | Names "consented likeness and voice" as a category; will not take voice lacking explicit, timestamped consent | From around $50K for a small targeted dataset to $1M+ for a large enterprise deal; a license fee up front, with revenue sharing on downstream use after that | not published |
Disclosure: a company in this list can owe us a referral payment when one of our introductions becomes a signed license. Payment has no bearing on the order (alphabetical) or on the wording.
What fees, timing and rights does each one publish?
| Company | Fees to the seller | When you are paid | Who can apply | Rights and exclusivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Data Exchange | For a public offer AWS keeps 3%. Private offers are tiered by total contract value: under $1M pays 3%, $1M to under $10M pays 2%, $10M or more pays 1.5%, renewals 1.5% (schedule effective 5 Jan 2024) | Monthly disbursement, minus service fees, and only after AWS collects from the subscriber | Registered AWS Marketplace sellers only | not published |
| Datarade | No yearly fee with 30% commission, or Bronze ($6,000 yearly, 20%), Silver ($12,000 yearly, 15%) and Gold (priced individually) | not published | Legally registered businesses only, with the legal right to sell the data; no individuals with unregistered businesses | not published |
| Defined.ai | not published | not published | Vetted. Its page puts approvals at only 30% of partners, and sending its form counts as signing the Supplier Program terms, NDA included | Says it helps suppliers earn from data while protecting their copyright; license terms not published |
| ElevenLabs | not published | Paid automatically through Stripe every 6 to 8 days once earnings pass the minimum (usually $10) | Creator plan or above, and Stripe Connect, which is not available in every country | The voice owner picks a notice period for withdrawal, from immediate removal up to two years |
| Labelbox | not published | Labelbox claims the first wire lands less than 21 days after the first call | No general size criteria published | Exclusive by default; sellers retain full control of their data and rights, it says |

Marketplace or direct buyer: what is the difference?
A marketplace lists your dataset for many buyers and takes a cut. A direct buyer licenses it once, usually on terms it sets. Both routes, side by side, from the companies' own pages:
| Marketplace listing | Direct license | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sets the price | You do, on your listing (AWS Data Exchange, Datarade) | Set in the license; Labelbox Prism quotes a published floor near $50K a dataset |
| What it costs you | AWS: 1.5% to 3% listing fee. Datarade: 15% to 30% commission plus a yearly plan fee of $0, $6,000 or $12,000 (Gold is custom) | No seller fee published |
| How money arrives | As buyers pay: AWS disburses monthly, after it collects from the subscriber | Labelbox Prism: money on signing, a revenue share afterwards, and a first wire inside 21 days by its account |
| Exclusivity | Not stated on the pages read | Labelbox Prism defaults to exclusive licenses |
| Who can sell | AWS: registered Marketplace sellers. Datarade: registered businesses only | No size rule published; consent for every voice required |
| Best fit | A set you want to sell many times, at a price you control | A distinctive set one buyer may want to own |

Which data programs do not take voice?
The best-known company data programs buy operational records. On the pages read on 7 November 2026, micro1, Scale AI and Nyne listed what they take, and audio was not on any of those lists. They pay for support tickets, CRM records, documents and workflows, not recordings. If you hold both kinds of data, the recordings need a different buyer.
Questions about voice data buyers
- Which buyers publish a price per hour of voice data?
- No buyer listed here showed a per-hour rate for voice recordings when we checked on 7 November 2026. Labelbox prices by dataset, and the marketplaces let sellers set prices themselves.
- Is a marketplace or a direct license better?
- It depends on whether you want to set your own price and wait for buyers (a marketplace) or license the set once, often exclusively, to one buyer (direct). The comparison table on this page sets out the published differences.
- Is ElevenLabs a buyer of voice recordings?
- Not in the sense of buying a dataset. Its Voice Library pays voice owners when paid users use their professional voice clone. It suits a single voice actor more than an archive.
- Why are micro1 and Scale AI not in the table?
- Their published lists of the data they take (operational records such as support tickets, CRM and documents) do not include audio. If that changes, it will appear in the terms changelog.
- Are you affiliated with these companies?
- No affiliation and no endorsement. Some listed companies pay introducers; if one pays us after a seller we introduced signs, that is the fee disclosed under each table.
