Google Veo 2 price: the short answer
Google announced a Gemini API rate of $0.35 per second of video generated for Veo 2 on April 9, 2025. This is a historical rate, not a price for new production API calls: Google says the Gemini API model veo-2.0-generate-001 was shut down on June 30, 2026. (Google Developers Blog)
The historical rate was for the Gemini API in Google AI Studio. Do not treat it as a subscription price, third-party platform rate, or Google Cloud rate. MindStudio’s Veo 2 catalog page says pricing is not published in its own current metadata; that statement does not establish Google’s complete pricing information. (MindStudio)
What the historical Gemini API rate meant
Google’s 2025 announcement specified $0.35 per second of generated video and a maximum clip length of 8 seconds. Applying that historical rate gives:
- 5-second clip: 5 × $0.35 = $1.75
- 8-second clip: 8 × $0.35 = $2.80
- 100 eight-second clips: 100 × $2.80 = $280
These are calculations from the announced Gemini API rate, not current quotes or a budget for new Veo 2 production use. They do not establish billing for any other access route. (Google Developers Blog)
Is Veo 2 still available for production API use?
Not through the Gemini API: Google’s model page says veo-2.0-generate-001 was shut down on June 30, 2026. (Google AI Studio)
For the documented Google Cloud endpoint, Google’s documentation identifies veo-2.0-generate-001 as deprecated and recommends migrating to veo-3.1-generate-001 before June 30, 2026, to avoid service disruption. That recommended migration deadline has passed, but the notice does not by itself confirm whether the endpoint is currently available or has been shut down. This information applies to the endpoint documented on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform; it should not be read as a claim about every Google product or access route. (Google Cloud documentation)
What to use for budgeting
Do not use Veo 2’s historical Gemini API rate as a current production quote. The Gemini API model is shut down, and the recommended migration deadline for the documented Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform endpoint has passed—but that deadline alone does not confirm the endpoint’s current status. Verify the current model and pricing for the specific Google channel you plan to use. Do not substitute Veo 3.1 prices, a consumer subscription, or a third-party platform listing and call it the Veo 2 Google API rate; those are different models or billing routes.
