Veo 3 Fast price: the short answer
Google announced a historical Gemini API rate of $0.15 per second for Veo 3 Fast in 2025. At that rate, an 8-second video would cost $1.20 ($0.15 × 8). Treat that as a historical price, not a current quote for Google Cloud API use.
For current Google Cloud API planning, the documented model is Veo 3.1 Fast, model ID veo-3.1-fast-generate-001. Google lists fixed quota and Provisioned Throughput as supported consumption options, but pay-as-you-go is not supported for this model. The model listing does not give a dollar amount for the fixed quota or a per-video rate, so it cannot support a current per-clip Google price estimate. To budget that route, check the quota or Provisioned Throughput terms for your Google Cloud project. (Google Cloud model documentation)
| Route or offer | Price or purchasing information | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy Veo 3 Fast on Google’s Gemini API | $0.15/second, announced in 2025 | Historical rate; don’t use it as a current quote for the Google Cloud Agent Platform route. |
| Legacy Veo 3 Fast on Google Cloud Agent Platform | No current per-video rate established here | Google lists veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 as a discontinued endpoint and recommended migration to veo-3.1-fast-generate-001 before June 30, 2026. The retirement note is specific to Agent Platform; Google says Gemini API follows its own terms and lifecycle. (Veo 3 model documentation) |
| Current Veo 3.1 Fast on Google Cloud Agent Platform | Fixed quota or Provisioned Throughput; no pay-as-you-go option listed | The model listing gives no dollar amount. Confirm the applicable quota or Provisioned Throughput price for your project before budgeting. |

Which Veo Fast model and API route do you mean?
Veo 3 Fast and Veo 3.1 Fast are different model versions. Google Cloud’s documentation identifies veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 as a discontinued Agent Platform endpoint and recommends veo-3.1-fast-generate-001 as its replacement. That Agent Platform notice does not, by itself, establish the status of a Gemini API endpoint; the Gemini API has separate documentation and terms.
For the current veo-3.1-fast-generate-001 listing, Google documents 4-, 6-, or 8-second outputs, 720p or 1080p resolution, 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratios, and US availability in us-central1. It lists fixed quota and Provisioned Throughput as supported, but not pay-as-you-go. (Google Cloud model documentation)
Separately, Google’s Gemini API documentation says the Veo 3.1 preview IDs, including veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview, shut down on October 22, 2026. That notice is about those preview IDs; it is not the lifecycle notice for legacy veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 or the current GA model ID. (Gemini API model documentation)
Example budget—and its limits
Using only the historical Veo 3 Fast rate, the arithmetic is:
- One 8-second output: $0.15 × 8 = $1.20
- 100 eight-second outputs: $0.15 × 8 × 100 = $120
These figures illustrate the 2025 rate; they are not current Google Cloud API estimates. The current Veo 3.1 Fast model listing does not provide a per-video price, so a current Google Cloud total can’t be calculated from that page alone.
Third-party API prices are separate. Kie.ai lists $0.40 for an 8-second Veo 3 Fast video with audio. Renderful lists $1.20 per generation and separately $0.15 per second, but does not explain how those figures apply across its 4-, 6-, and 8-second options. Neither provider’s price is Google’s direct API rate. (Kie.ai pricing; Renderful pricing)
Bottom line: Google’s announced $0.15/second figure is historical. For current Google Cloud API use, price the documented Veo 3.1 Fast route through its fixed-quota or Provisioned Throughput terms; Google’s model listing does not state a per-video dollar amount and does not list pay-as-you-go for this model.
