Veo pricing: Veo 3.1 has left the Gemini API, and what replaced it
Google has shut down the Veo 3.1 preview models in the Gemini API and points developers to Gemini Omni Flash. This page gives Omni's verified per-second prices, the Veo 3.1 prices Runway still lists, and what we could not verify. Compare with other models in the AI video cost calculator; the topic hub is AI video generation.

What Google says about Veo
Google's Gemini API video documentation names three Veo models, veo-3.1-generate-preview, veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview and veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview, and states that the Veo 3.1 Preview in the Gemini API has been shut down, with the models shut down on October 22, 2026. It recommends migrating to Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.2-flash). Google's pricing page no longer shows Veo prices.

Veo 3.1 on Runway
Runway's API pricing page still lists Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast at credit prices of $0.01 per credit. We have not confirmed that Runway can still serve them after Google's shutdown, so confirm availability first. An 8-second clip is shown for illustration.
| Model | Mode | Price | 8-second clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 (via Runway) | no audio | $0.20 per second | $1.60 |
| Veo 3.1 (via Runway) | with audio | $0.40 per second | $3.20 |
| Veo 3.1 Fast (via Runway) | no audio | $0.10 per second | $0.80 |
| Veo 3.1 Fast (via Runway) | with audio | $0.15 per second | $1.20 |
