AI deals ending in November 2026: what to claim before it's gone

The short answer: four November deadlines

Four offers, four dates. Here is the whole month at a glance:

Ends November 16: ElevenLabs Starter for $1

ElevenLabs Starter for $1 is the most urgent deadline on this list: the first month of the Starter plan costs $1 until November 16, 2026, then $6 a month, for 30,000 credits. The Creator plan is $11 for the first month, then $22. We re-verified the prices live on ElevenLabs' pricing page on November 9, including the countdown banner — about 8 days and 5 hours left at that check — so the November 16 end is real, not a tracker estimate.

Claim it if you need narration, voice cloning, or a voice agent prototype this month: $1 for 30,000 credits is the cheapest paid ElevenLabs entry point, and the free plan stays available afterwards if you cancel. Set the reminder now — a $1 first month that renews at $6 is only a deal if you actually wanted the second month.

Ends November 30: HeyGen Voice Turbo Free

HeyGen Voice Turbo Free is the free edition of HeyGen's fast text-to-speech model: $0 through November 30, 2026, with no credit card and no credit balance required. Use model heygen-voice-1-turbo-free with a public voice or an instant clone through the API, and you get back a 44.1 kHz WAV. HeyGen's own October 2026 release notes confirm the free window runs "through November 30 on shared capacity" — re-verified November 11, 2026.

The catch is capacity: Turbo Free runs on shared, limited capacity with no uptime or latency guarantee, and a busy queue returns HTTP 429. It is for tests, prototypes, and small amounts of speech — not production. After November 30, paid Turbo is listed at $4 per million characters, so prototype now and budget the paid rate for anything that must keep running in December.

Ends November 30: Leonardo LEO20 (20% off)

Leonardo's LEO20 code takes 20% off every subscription plan, monthly or yearly, and it was re-validated on November 10, 2026 (GrabOn), valid through November 30, 2026. It is the most widely tracked Leonardo code, with thousands of recorded uses across the coupon trackers — and the realistic maximum for a normal buyer, since the 80%-off codes on aggregator sites fail at checkout.

The best use of LEO20 is on a yearly plan, where the 20% code compounds with the annual billing discount. Create the free Leonardo account first — the promo-code field at checkout generally only appears for signed-in members — and confirm the total drops before paying. If LEO20 bounces, FINALSHIELD is listed as an unconfirmed 10% backup.

Register by November 12, redeem by November 30: X Premium free month

The X Premium free month via MLH Builders Week has two dates, and the first one is tomorrow: register for Builders Week by November 12, 2026, then redeem the promo code by November 30, 2026. The free month covers the $30 Premium plan, including Grok Bot and Cursor Pro in its benefits — Cursor Pro on its own is $20 a month; the $30 is X Premium's price.

Register even if you only do one challenge: the code goes to your registration email either way. Then cancel the X subscription the moment you redeem if you only want the free month, so the $30 renewal can never surprise you. One honest caveat: codes are limited, so not every registrant is guaranteed one, and the 30-day-old GitHub account rule from MLH's October event is not confirmed for Builders Week.

Already gone: ChatGPT Plus student (ended October 31)

For completeness: the ChatGPT Plus student offer — 4 free months — ended October 31, 2026 and is now archived. If you missed it, the live alternatives are Google AI Pro free for a year for students (redeem by December 31) and the other routes in our ChatGPT student alternatives post. Do not trust any page still advertising the ChatGPT student deal as claimable — it is not.

December watch: Google AI Pro and OpenArt

Two more deadlines land in December, so put them on the same list. Google AI Pro free for a year for students — a $239.88 value — must be redeemed by December 31, 2026, and the OpenArt ALL15 code (15% off monthly) is valid through December 31, 2026. Neither is urgent today, but both are the kind of offer people discover on January 2 and regret.

The pattern to remember: student and launch offers end on their printed date, and the page auto-archives the next day. If a deal matters to you, claim it while the page still says Active — the expired banner means the window is genuinely closed.

Which one should you claim first?

In order: ElevenLabs Starter for $1 today (November 16 is five days away and $1 is the cheapest entry point on this list). X Premium next — register by November 12, which is tomorrow. Then HeyGen Voice Turbo Free for any voice prototype you have been postponing, and Leonardo LEO20 only if you were already planning to pay for Leonardo this month. Everything else on the site with no published deadline — Fish Audio's free credits, You.com's $100 API credits, River AI's $25 — can wait until the November deadlines are claimed.

One rule covers all four: confirm the discounted total or the $0 price shows before you pay anything, and cancel the moment you redeem if you only wanted the free period. A free month that renews at full price is not a deal.
