At 4K, Veo 3.1 Standard lists at $0.60 per second and Veo 3.1 Fast at $0.30. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 on Sume lists 4K at $0.375 per second, so it lands between the two Veo tiers.

4K price table

Sume's rate is Google's provider list of $0.30 per second times 1.25. Clip totals use the 3 to 10 second window of Omni Flash.

What the gap means

Per second, Omni Flash 4K costs 25 percent more than Veo Fast 4K and 37.5 percent less than Veo Standard 4K. That 25 percent gap is the Sume multiplier on a same-priced provider rate, which is what you pay for one account, one wallet and one job API across vendors.

A cheap way to avoid paying 4K rates for every try: run drafts at 360p or 720p and render only the winner at 4K. On Omni Flash that is $0.0375 or $0.125 per second against $0.375.

  • 360p: $0.0375 per second
  • 720p: $0.125 per second
  • 1080p: $0.1875 per second
  • 4K: $0.375 per second

Draft cheap, finish at 4K

A typical flow for a 10-second 4K hero shot: three drafts at 360p cost $0.375 each at $0.0375 per second for 10 seconds, so $1.125 for three. Then one 4K render costs $3.75. The whole shot is $4.875 including drafts.

The same flow on Veo Fast 4K, with every try rendered at 4K, would cost $3.00 per try. Veo Lite lists no 4K price on the page, so it is not a 4K option.

  • Lock framing and motion at the draft resolution.
  • Change only resolution for the final request so the shot stays recognisable.
  • Check that the result still meets your delivery spec before rendering more.

Limits

Omni Flash caps a single request at 10 seconds, so a 4K clip longer than that has to be stitched from several jobs. 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.
