There isn’t one price for Google Veo. For consumer use, Google AI Plus is listed at $4.99/month and Google AI Pro at $19.99/month in the U.S.; both include Google Flow credits. For API budgeting, Google’s published announcements give Veo 3 rates of $0.40 per second and Veo 3 Fast rates of $0.15 per second. Google said Veo 3.1 was the same price as Veo 3. For example, an 8-second output at those announced rates works out to $3.20 for Veo 3.1 or $1.20 for Veo 3.1 Fast. These API amounts are based on Google’s published announcements; confirm current model availability and pricing before deploying. (gemini.google)
Consumer access: Flow credits and subscription prices
Google lists these U.S. consumer options:
| Access or plan | Listed price | Google Flow credits |
|---|---|---|
| No subscription | $0 | 50 per day to try Flow |
| Google AI Plus | $4.99/month | 200 additional per month |
| Google AI Pro | $19.99/month | 1,000 additional per month |
Google says no-subscription users get basic video-generation and editing access, though video generation may be unavailable during peak hours. The monthly subscriber credits are additional to the daily credits. (gemini.google)
Flow credits are not a fixed price per video: Google says the number required depends on the model. Check the selected model’s credit cost in Flow to estimate how many generations a plan’s allowance may cover. (support.google.com)
Production API: published rates and an example
Google’s September 8, 2025 Gemini API pricing announcement listed Veo 3 at $0.40 per second and Veo 3 Fast at $0.15 per second. Google’s Veo 3.1 announcement said Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast were the same price as Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast. (developers.googleblog.com)
Using those published rates, a single 8-second output comes to:
- Veo 3.1: 8 seconds × $0.40 = $3.20
- Veo 3.1 Fast: 8 seconds × $0.15 = $1.20
This is a simple rate-times-duration estimate, not a guarantee of today’s final bill. It assumes one 8-second output at the announced rate; it does not account for retries or other charges. Google’s announcement documents the rates, but confirm the current rate and model availability for your Gemini API project before budgeting production use. (developers.googleblog.com)
Keep the API route distinct from Google Flow subscriptions: Flow plan prices and credits are not API rates. Google Cloud’s Veo 3.1 documentation lists fixed quota and provisioned throughput as supported consumption options, and pay-as-you-go as unsupported for the documented Agent Platform models. Confirm the applicable billing arrangement for the specific Google Cloud route you plan to use. (docs.cloud.google.com)
Which route should you choose?
- For trying video generation in Flow: Start with the no-subscription access if it is available to you. If you need more credits or features, compare the Google AI plans and check the selected model’s credit cost.
- For a programmatic workload: Identify the exact Veo model and API or Cloud channel first. Use the published per-second example as an initial estimate, then confirm current pricing and availability for that channel before committing a production budget.
Bottom line: U.S. Google AI Plus is listed at $4.99/month and Google AI Pro at $19.99/month, with Flow credits included. Google’s published Gemini API rates give a useful production estimate: an 8-second output is $3.20 at the Veo 3 rate or $1.20 at the Veo 3 Fast rate. Since the API figures come from Google announcements, check the current model and pricing details before relying on them for a live workload. (gemini.google)
