On Google's own pricing page an 8-second 720p Veo 3.1 clip costs $3.20 on Standard, $0.80 on Fast and $0.40 on Lite. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 and Wan 3.0 at 720p each sell on Sume for $1.00 list, or $1.25 after Sume's x1.25, for 8 seconds, with a 5.5% fee on top.

Google's published Veo 3.1 rates

Google's Gemini API pricing page (read 2026-10-07) lists Veo 3.1 per second of video: Standard $0.40 at 720p and 1080p and $0.60 at 4K; Fast $0.10 at 720p, $0.12 at 1080p and $0.30 at 4K; Lite $0.05 at 720p and $0.08 at 1080p. The 8-second price below is the per-second rate x 8.

Eight seconds, side by side

Google rows are the vendor's per-second price x 8. Sume rows are the repo list price per second x 8, then the sell price after x1.25 (before the platform fee). The eight-second length is chosen here for the comparison; check your own length against each model's allowed range.

What the table says

Veo 3.1 Lite and Fast at 720p are cheaper than Omni Flash or Wan 3.0 on Sume for the same 8 seconds. Veo Standard is above them. The Sume rows are different models from the Veo rows, so this table compares what you would pay at Google with what you would pay on Sume for a different model, not for the same one. The Veo Lite post covers the Lite versus Wan question in more depth.

Choosing

If the cheapest 720p second is the only goal, the table decides it. If you need audio, longer clips or a different look, price the other lines too. The ranked 720p post lists every Sume video model on one scale.
