What a credit costs on each plan
A credit buys the same generation on every plan; only the price per credit changes. One-time packs have no renewal. Subscription credits refresh each billing cycle and may not roll over (see our Terms of Service). Full details are on the pricing page.
| Plan | Type | Price | Credits | Per credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | monthly subscription | $79.99 | 375 | $0.213 |
| Pro (Hero) | monthly subscription | $37.50 | 175 | $0.214 |
| Basic | monthly subscription | $9.99 | 45 | $0.222 |
| Studio Pack | one-time pack | $79.99 | 350 | $0.229 |
| Hero Pack | one-time pack | $37.50 | 160 | $0.234 |
| Basic Pack | one-time pack | $9.99 | 40 | $0.250 |
Google Flow credits, and what changes on December 5, 2026
Flow, Google's consumer video app, charges Flow credits per video. Subscribers on Google AI Ultra pay a lower rate for Lite and Fast. Fast and Quality leave Flow on December 5, 2026; Lite stays. Our Flow retirement guide covers what to do before then.
| Model in Flow | Credits per video | On Google AI Ultra | Value at Google AI Pro rate | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 Lite | 10 | 5 | $0.20 | Stays in Flow |
| Veo 3.1 Fast | 20 | 10 | $0.40 | Retires December 5, 2026 |
| Veo 3.1 Quality | 100 | 100 | $2.00 | Retires December 5, 2026 |
The "value at Google AI Pro rate" column assumes you use every one of the 1,000 monthly credits that come with Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month. Monthly credits don't roll over, so if you use fewer, each video costs more. Free accounts get 50 credits a day. On that basis Flow is cheaper per video than imaginary.app for anyone who uses most of a plan every month — if that is you, and you can live with Lite or Google's newer Omni Flash models after December 5, 2026, Flow is the better deal.
How we calculate these numbers
- Our credits come from the same pricing catalog the generator and the API use. You see the credit cost before you generate, and credits are returned automatically if a generation fails.
- Our USD range multiplies credits by the lowest and highest price per credit across our plans. What you actually pay depends on the plan you buy.
- Google Cloud list price is the per-unit rate on Google's generative AI pricing page multiplied by clip length. Google labels the Veo unit as a "count" without defining it; we treat it as one second of output, which is how per-second Veo pricing is quoted elsewhere. Google's Veo 3.1 model page lists provisioned throughput and fixed quota as the supported ways to buy and marks pay-as-you-go as not supported, so check with Google which terms apply to your project. Savings plans and committed-use discounts are not included.
- 4K on Veo 3.1 Fast: we offer it and Google's price list includes it, but Google's model documentation is inconsistent about whether Fast outputs 4K. Treat the Fast 4K Google figure as indicative.
- Flow credits come from Google's Flow help page. The USD value is our own arithmetic at the Google AI Pro rate, not a price Google quotes.
When we are the right choice, and when we are not
Go direct to Google Cloud if you already have a Cloud project with billing and Veo quota, generate in volume, and can handle the API yourself. For an 8-second Lite clip at 720p with audio, the list estimate is about $0.40 versus $0.64–$0.75 here, and the gap is similar or wider on the other models. Our Gemini API shutdown guide walks through the Cloud route.
Use imaginary.app if you make only a few videos and don't want a subscription (the $9.99 Basic Pack is a one-time 40 credits, enough for 4 clips of 8-second 1080p Fast with audio or 1 clip on Quality), want Veo 3.1 Fast or Quality after they leave Flow, or want a single API key without setting up Google Cloud. You can start in the generator or read the API documentation. For a longer write-up of the trade-offs, see our Veo 3.1 pricing comparison.
