Veo 3.1 Lite 1080p is $0.08/s at Google; H3 Max is $0.20 on Sume

Google's pricing page lists Veo 3.1 Lite at $0.08 per second at 1080p. Sume does not list Veo. At 1080p its cheapest row is Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 at $0.1875 per second, then MiniMax H3 Max at $0.20, Wan 3.0 at $0.25, Seedance 2.0 at $0.8505 and Seedance 2.5 at $1.42155. Google's rate is a vendor list price and Sume's include a 1.25 multiplier, so the table also gives each Sume row with the multiplier removed.

1080p per-second table

Google figures from its pricing page, read 2026-10-09. Sume rates from the catalog and pricing data for the same date; the list column is Sume divided by 1.25 and is derived, not quoted from a vendor.

Ten seconds at 1080p

Ten seconds at 1080p is 10 x $0.08 = $0.80 on Veo 3.1 Lite at Google's list, 10 x $0.1875 = $1.8750 on Omni, 10 x $0.20 = $2.00 on H3 Max and 10 x $0.25 = $2.50 on Wan 3.0 at Sume. Ten seconds is the Omni maximum; H3 Max accepts 5 to 15 s and Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 s.

Veo 3.1 Standard and Fast list 1080p at $0.40 and $0.12. Standard is the same $0.40 at 720p and 1080p on Google's page, so it carries no premium for the step up, whereas Wan 3.0 doubles from $0.125 to $0.25 and H3 Max doubles from $0.10 at 768p to $0.20 at 1080p on Sume.

A 15-second case

A 15-second 1080p clip is 15 x $0.08 = $1.20 at Google's list for Veo 3.1 Lite, assuming the per-second rate applies at that length, and 15 x $0.20 = $3.00 on Sume's H3 Max. The gap is $1.80. For a monthly run of 40 such clips, that is $48.00 at Google's list against $120.00 on Sume's H3 Max, before any retakes.

Sume lists no Veo row, so the first number is a reference point rather than an option inside Sume. If you are choosing within Sume, the decision is between the rows in the table, and the main variables are the maximum length, the audio behaviour and the aspect ratios each row supports.

How to read this

Price is one axis. Veo is not available through Sume, and H3 Max produces 1080p as a latent refinement from native 768p according to the Sume docs, so the same label does not guarantee the same sharpness. If you can only use rows Sume lists, the Omni row is the cheapest 1080p option and the shortest, capped at 10 s; H3 Max is the cheapest option for 11 to 15 s.
