Veo on DER: pricing, API and every version

Veo is Google’s family of AI models for video. DER runs 2 versions of it: start and end frames to video. Each one runs on pay-as-you-go credits and over the API, and the table below shows what a whole clip costs.

Versions

Veo versions compared

Veo versions: what each makes, length, resolution, sound, starting price and tier
Version	What it makes	Length	Sound	Starting price	Tier
Veo 3.1	Start & end frames	8 s	Native audio	480 credits / 8 s (≈ $4.80)	Pro
Veo 3.1 Fast	Start & end frames	8 s	Native audio	120 credits / 8 s (≈ $1.20)	Pro

Each starting price is the lowest whole order the catalog lists for that version. Other settings change the price — the studio shows it before you generate.

Veo pricing

How pricing works

Video versions are priced by the second, so a longer clip costs more credits.

Veo 3.1 Fast starts at 120 credits for an 8-second clip (≈ $1.20).

With Veo 3.1, 8 s ≈ 480 credits (≈ $4.80).

There is no subscription: top up credits when you need them and spend them on any version.
