Veo 3.1 price as a multiple of Sume's Omni rate: 3.2x, 0.8x, 0.4x

At 720p, Google's Veo 3.1 Standard list price of $0.40 per second is 3.2 times Sume's Gemini Omni Flash rate of $0.125, Veo 3.1 Fast at $0.10 is 0.8 times it, and Veo 3.1 Lite at $0.05 is 0.4 times it. Ratios let you rank the options without re-doing arithmetic each time a price moves. All three Veo preview ids also shut down on October 22, 2026, so the ratios describe the next two weeks, not a long-term choice.

Where the inputs come from

Google's pricing page lists Veo 3.1 Standard at $0.40 (720p and 1080p) and $0.60 (4K) per second, Fast at $0.10 (720p), $0.12 (1080p) and $0.30 (4K), and Lite at $0.05 (720p) and $0.08 (1080p) with no 4K, with audio included by default. Sume's Omni rates are the provider list of $0.10, $0.15 and $0.30 times 1.25: $0.125, $0.1875 and $0.375 a second.

The ratio table

A ratio above 1.00x means the Veo tier costs more per second than Sume's Omni row at the same resolution. Below 1.00x, Veo is cheaper at Google's list.

How to read it

Standard is the only tier that costs more than Omni on Sume at every resolution it offers: 3.2x at 720p, 2.13x at 1080p and 1.6x at 4K. Fast is cheaper on paper at each resolution (0.8x, 0.64x, 0.8x). Lite is the cheapest at 0.4x and 0.43x, but it has no 4K row.

These are list-against-Sume ratios, so they include Sume's 25 percent. They also compare per second, not per clip: Veo and Omni differ in which lengths they accept, and a clip you cannot request is a price you cannot pay.

A worked example

Take a 30-second spot at 1080p. Veo 3.1 Fast at Google's list is 30 x $0.12 = $3.60. Veo 3.1 Standard is 30 x $0.40 = $12.00. Sume's Omni row is 30 x $0.1875 = $5.625, which rounds to $5.63. Because Omni on Sume takes 3 to 10 seconds per job, that spot is at least three jobs, for example 10 + 10 + 10 seconds, and the three clips are joined afterward. The ratio table tells you which line wins per second; the clip-length limit tells you how many jobs it takes.

What the ratios cannot tell you

They say nothing about quality. Google's video page recommends Gemini Omni Flash as the default and positions Veo 3.1 for work that needs video extension, frame-specific generation and image-based direction. If you rely on those features, a cheaper ratio is not a reason to switch.

They also depend on a model Sume does not list. Sume has no Veo row, so the practical decision on Sume is among its own listed models. Use the ratios to judge what the move costs you relative to Google's list, then test one clip on gemini-omni-flash-1.1 before moving a pipeline.
