Billing

How Veo 3.1 seconds are billed

Full details in the billing docs.

  • Unit. With native audio on, every second is billed at the audio rate. The per-second prices above are for the longest clip; the clip-length table has every exact price.
  • Audio. Native audio has its own, higher per-second rate; silent clips use the lower one.
  • Tasks. Text to video and image to video share the same per-second rates.
  • Failed = free. Failed generations, and jobs cancelled while queued, are refunded in full.
  • Price first. POST /v1/quote/google/veo-3.1/text-to-video returns the exact price of any request, free.
