How Veo 3.1 pricing works

One balance and one price list for the Studio, the API and MCP.

Use in Studio Get API key
  • Pay as you go. No subscription needed and no seats. Add credits with a card; optional monthly plans add credits every month, and Pro and Max lower prices.
  • The price before you run. The exact cost is on the Generate button in the Studio, and the API's free quote endpoint returns it for any request.
  • Failed = free. A failed generation, or a job you cancel before it starts, is refunded in full automatically.
  • Same price everywhere. The Studio (no code), the API and MCP cost the same; audio and resolution are the only things that change the per-second rate.
  • Below the official price. Up to 24% less, for the same official model.
