Method and limits
What is the cheapest official Veo API tier?
The tracked Gemini Developer API rate for Veo 3.1 Lite starts at $0.05 per generated second for 720p output. Resolution and model tier change the rate.
Does Veo include native audio?
The tracked Veo 3.1 routes support synchronized audio. fal publishes separate silent-video prices for some tiers; Google lists an audio-inclusive rate in this dataset.
Can a Flow subscription replace the API?
Only for manual work. Flow credits and generation limits are not automated API capacity, so the calculator never ranks the subscription for an API workload.
