Veo 3.1 Quality · the arithmetic
the unit$0.01 per Flow credit · The reference plan rule could not be applied cleanly here: Google shows no USD price for the cheaper Google AI Pro plan from outside the US (it renders as EUR 21.99). The only dollar figures Google publishes on the official Flow credits page are in the plan names themselves - Google AI Ultra $100 gives 10,000 Flow credits a month ($0.01/credit) and Google AI Ultra $200 gives 25,000 ($0.008/credit). The $0.01 rate is used here.
the meter100 Flow credits per generation, for all users (no Ultra discount on this model)
the sumFlow charges per generation, not per second: Veo 3.1 Quality is 100 credits for every user and produces an 8-second clip. 100 x $0.01 = $1.00, and that is what five seconds of finished video costs because the clip length is fixed. Ten and fifteen seconds cannot be reached in one generation.
the verdictSTEEP · priciest third for this operation
the catchWorth putting side by side with the Gemini API entry: the same eight seconds of Veo 3.1 cost $1.00 inside a Flow subscription and $3.20 bought per second on the API. Flow's own page warns that credits are charged per generation, not per request - one request can return two videos and bill twice. Veo 3.1 Lite is 10 credits per generation (5 for Ultra subscribers), Fast is 20 (10 for Ultra). 1080p upscaling costs 0 credits for Plus/Pro/Ultra subscribers; 4K upscaling is 50 credits and Ultra only.
