Veo 3.1: where to access it & real cost

Quick answer verified

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.

Reference SKU for all prices on this page: 8s / 1080p / text-to-video / audio included. Veo 3.1 cannot produce a 10-second clip natively, so the site's usual 10-second reference SKU does not apply to this model.

Billing trap of the week Google's own Gemini API and Vertex AI give Veo 3.1 no audio toggle at all: audio is generated natively and is always on, so the published $0.40/s "default" rate is the only rate on the first-party route. Aggregators are not so strict: on fal.ai the same second costs $0.20 without audio and $0.40 with it at 720p/1080p, a straight 2x, and $0.40 vs $0.60 at 4K. If a clip does not need sound, a reseller that separates the audio charge beats the first-party price for identical silent footage.

For developers: current fallback chain

  • 1 veo-3.1 · Gemini API / Vertex AI - official route, audio always on, $0.40/s at 720p/1080p
  • 2 veo-3.1 · fal.ai - matches $0.40/s with audio, $0.20/s without
  • 3 veo-3.1 · CometAPI / APIMart - reseller rates, $0.60-$2.56 for an 8s/1080p clip
  • 4 kling-3.0 · official aggregators - price-quality alternative with native audio

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.
