Verified price: Veo 3.1 Standard with audio 0.40 (720p, 1080p), 4k 0.60; Veo 3.1 Fast with audio 0.10 (720p), 0.12 (1080p), 0.30 (4k); Veo 3.1 Lite with audio 0.05 (720p), 0.08 (1080p), no 4k output — USD / second (Gemini API paid tier) (region: not stated, checked 2026-10-12). Annual prices are not converted to monthly. Pricing source

The Gemini API pricing page opened on 2026-10-12 (ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing) lists Veo 3.1 under Paid Tier and states the unit for this block as per second in USD: Veo 3.1 Standard with audio is 0.40 USD/second (720p and 1080p) and 0.60 for 4k; Veo 3.1 Fast with audio is 0.10 (720p), 0.12 (1080p) and 0.30 (4k); Veo 3.1 Lite with audio is 0.05 (720p) and 0.08 (1080p), with a note that Lite does not support 4k output. The Free Tier cell for Veo 3.1 on that page says Not available, so it is paid-tier only; the same page's Used to improve our products column is No for Paid and Yes for Free, and a note says you are charged only if your video is successfully generated. The Vertex AI generative AI pricing page opened the same day (cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/pricing, which lands on the gemini-enterprise-agent-platform path) states the unit for this model family as 1 count: Veo 3.1 with audio 0.40 USD / 1 count (720p, 1080p) and 0.20 for video only, with the two 4k rows at 0.60 and 0.40; Veo 3.1 Fast with audio 0.10 / 0.12 / 0.30; Veo 3.1 Lite with audio 0.05 / 0.08; the same page also lists Veo 3, Veo 3 Fast, Veo 2 (0.50 USD / 1 count) and Advanced Controls (start and end frame interpolation, extending videos, camera controls) at 0.50. That page does not explain how long or how many videos a 1 count covers, so this entry does not convert it to seconds and does not merge the two pages into one price. The model page (ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models/veo-3.1-generate-preview) gives Veo 3.1 the API model codes veo-3.1-generate-preview, veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview and veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview (all with the preview suffix), lists text and image inputs, video with audio output, a 1,024-token text input limit and 1 output video, and writes Latest update as January 2026. The consumer side is a separate line: the Google AI plans page opened on 2026-10-12 (one.google.com/intl/en_us/about/google-ai-plans/) lists Google AI Pro as Monthly 19.99 USD and Annual 199.99 USD, and Ultra as 99.99 USD/month billed monthly only; Pro benefits say Expanded access and Ultra says Higher access to image, music and video generation models, and a footnote says Veo 3.1, Google Flow and Google Flow Music are available in more than 140 countries and territories. The page gives no video quota figure for either tier, so that is unverified. Commercial licensing and data-residency terms for Veo were not opened this round: unverified, read the official terms before deciding. This is not a hands-on test.

When to pick it

Pick it when a shot needs its synchronized audio from the same generation (Veo 3.1 outputs video with audio) and output can stay at 720p or 1080p; 4k is only on the Standard and Fast tiers, and Lite is documented as not supporting 4k output.

When to skip it

The Free Tier cell for Veo 3.1 on the Gemini API page says Not available and the paid tier is billed per second (Standard with audio 0.40 USD/second), so free trials and using Lite for 4k are both out. For a single credits pool shared across video, image and audio with a one-time free allowance to test first, the closer entry in this directory is Runway; to choose on a 15-second per-shot cap and lip sync, the closer entry is Kling AI. This is not a ranked review.
