Veo 3.1 is openly purchasable today through Google's own Gemini API and Vertex AI, and through several resellers. Google DeepMind released the model on October 15, 2025 with native audio, up to three reference images, first/last-frame interpolation and an Extend feature that chains generations to roughly 148 seconds; a single generation still tops out at 8 seconds, so this page's usual 10-second reference duration does not exist for this model. The cheapest figure we can cite from a provider's own page is APIMart at $0.60 for an 8-second 1080p clip with audio (its "quality" tier). Google's own rate for the same clip is $3.20 ($0.40/s, audio included by default with no way to switch it off). fal.ai matches Google's $0.40/s with audio but drops to $0.20/s if audio is turned off, and CometAPI publishes $0.32/s. Vertex AI's own per-second pricing could not be located on a public page this session, and kie.ai blocked automated verification, so both carry no price rather than a guessed one.
Veo 3.1: where to access it & real cost
Provider board
Every price is the provider's own published figure, converted to this model's reference SKU. Figures we derived rather than read off a price list are marked est.
| Provider | Access | Claimed (4s/720p) | ref SKU | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-party API | official | $1.60 est. Per-second rate card, no login required. No audio toggle exists for Veo 3.1 on this surface, so the published rate is the only rate. | $3.20 est. | live · official rate card, audio always on |
| First-party API | official | — Veo 3.1 is documented on the Vertex AI Model Garden, but the generic Vertex generative AI pricing page lists only Gemini text models, not Veo. No public per-second rate card for Veo on Vertex AI was located this session. | — | documented on Model Garden · per-second rate not located |
| Official aggregator | official | $1.60 est. fal.ai splits audio out as a separate charge; figures below use the with-audio column to match the model's reference SKU. The no-audio route is $0.20/s (720p/1080p) or $0.40/s (4K). | $3.20 est. | live · per-second rate card, audio priced separately |
| Official aggregator | official | — Model page (created by Google, listed for several months) confirms the route exists, but no per-second or per-generation rate rendered on the page as fetched, and the public model API requires authentication. | — | live · model page published, rate not shown on page |
| Unofficial reseller | unofficial | — Flat per-video pricing, not per-second; both tiers fix duration at 8s and resolution at 1080p. | $0.60 claimed | live · flat per-video price, quality tier $0.60 |
| Unofficial reseller | unofficial | $1.28 est. CometAPI's page does not state whether audio is included in this rate; treated as the closest available match to the reference SKU. | $2.56 est. | live · per-second rate card, audio inclusion unstated |
| EvoLink Official aggregator | official | — No public Veo 3.1 pricing page found on evolink.ai this session; a model listing page returned a 404. | — | no confirmed listing found |
| Unofficial reseller | unofficial | — kie.ai blocks automated page fetches (403 on kie.ai/veo-3-1); presence and rate not independently verified this session. | — | not confirmed this session (fetch blocked, HTTP 403) |

Ordering here follows officiality, not price: resellers undercut the first-party rate for the identical clip. JSON: /api/models/veo-3-1/providers
For users: apps & subscriptions
Veo 3.1 is not sold to consumers per clip. It is bundled into Google's paid AI plans, and the cheapest plan that unlocks Veo 3.1 itself is Google AI Ultra, reached through the Gemini app and Flow. The cheaper Google AI Pro tier includes only a limited trial of Veo 3.1 Lite, which is a different, lower-cost model that this page does not track, so subscribing to Pro does not buy the model priced above.
Google renders the monthly figures for those plans with client-side script, so no subscription price is recorded here rather than one taken second hand. Neither plan publishes a per-video price or a daily generation cap.
Free to try: none found. Every path to Veo 3.1 needs either a paid Google AI plan or a metered API key. The model has no free tier.
Changelog
- Priced from Google's own Gemini API rate card ($0.40/s standard tier, 720p/1080p, audio included by default) and fal.ai's published per-second table. CometAPI and APIMart publish lower reseller rates. Vertex AI's own per-second pricing could not be located on a public Google Cloud page this session, and kie.ai blocked automated verification (HTTP 403), so both carry no price yet.
- Veo 3.1 released by Google DeepMind: native audio, up to three reference images ('Ingredients to Video'), first/last-frame interpolation, and an Extend feature that chains generations into a single video of roughly 148 seconds. A single generation is still capped at 4, 6 or 8 seconds, and 1080p / 4K output is only available at 8 seconds.
