Veo 3.1 1080p 8-second clip cost vs Sume per-second rows

An 8-second 1080p clip costs $3.20 on Veo 3.1 Standard, $0.96 on Fast and $0.64 on Lite at Google's list prices. On Sume the 1080p rows run from $1.12 (Kling 3, audio off) to $2.00 (Wan 3.0) for the same length, so Sume sits between Veo Lite or Fast and Veo Standard.

The numbers, side by side

Google bills Veo per second of output. Sume bills provider list times 1.25 per second, rounded up, so the table multiplies the per-second rate by 8. Veo has no row in the Sume catalog, so this is a price comparison and not a like-for-like quality test.

How to read it

Veo Fast and Lite are cheaper than every Sume 1080p row. Veo Standard is the most expensive line in the table. If you want a Veo-class price on Sume, the rows to test first are Kling 3 with audio off and Gemini Omni Flash 1.1.

• Kling 3 audio on adds a native audio track and costs 50 percent more per second than audio off.
• Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 accepts 3 to 10 seconds, so 8 seconds fits; Kling 3 accepts 4 to 15.
• Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds, which matters when one take must be long.

A worked budget

Say you need 40 eight-second 1080p shots for a campaign. At one take per shot, Veo Lite costs $25.60, Veo Fast $38.40 and Veo Standard $128.00. On Sume the same 40 shots cost $44.80 on Kling 3 audio off, $60.00 on Gemini Omni Flash, $64.00 on H3 Max and $80.00 on Wan 3.0.

If half the shots need a second take, add half again. That retake rate moves the total more than the choice between neighbouring rows, so measure your own keeper rate before committing to the most expensive tier.

• Run one shot on two rows and compare before you scale up.
• Keep the prompt and seed notes so a cheaper row can be retried on the same shot.

Limits

The tables show the model amount. A workspace Agent Fee line can be added on top, so treat the job's own usage cost as the truth and check the live catalog before you budget; limits and rows change.

Google prices are the public list for the Gemini API and can change. Duration, resolution and audio support differ by row, so confirm the request window in the catalog before you compare.
