Veo 3.1 Fast 720p API pricing without audio
Veo 3.1 Fast 720p, no-audio price
- Reviewed comparison scope
- Veo 3.1 Fast · text to video · 720p · no audio · global route · USD per generated video second
- Publication gate
- At least 3 unique providers with accepted, fresh, reviewed evidence
Why there is no winner
Ranking withheld: 0 of 3 required providers have fresh, matching evidence.
The Kie.ai offer is billed per fixed eight-second request with audio, so it is excluded. Google Vertex AI and fal remain below the three-provider publication gate.

Checked evidence, not a ranking: fresh rows were checked against the linked first-party source on the shown date. APIDir does not name a cheapest provider unless exact configurations and units match. Recheck before purchasing.

Decision guide
How to compare Veo 3.1 API providers
Veo 3.1 is available through first-party cloud access and hosted provider channels. Those channels may expose different route names, fixed-duration requests, per-second meters, fast tiers, audio defaults, and operational limits. APIDir preserves the channel and configuration so a hosted quote is never presented as Google's direct price.
Choose the output configuration first, then compare providers. A useful test holds mode, tier, resolution, duration, and audio constant and measures total completed-work cost. Documentation quality, quota controls, region availability, retry handling, storage, and support can matter more than a small difference in the generation meter.
What changes Veo 3.1 API cost
- Fast versus standard tier, generated duration, resolution, and audio
- Per-second versus fixed-request billing and any minimum duration
- Failed generations, retry policy, storage, egress, and post-production steps
Integration checks before production
- Confirm the exact Veo 3.1 endpoint and region before load testing
- Keep audio and duration explicit in every request and cost log
- Treat submission retries differently from idempotent status polling
Workloads this comparison can inform
Narrative clips with sound
Compare only audio-enabled offers at the same duration and resolution.
Silent product loops
Exclude audio routes and fixed eight-second products when the workload needs shorter clips.
Cloud-governed workloads
A direct cloud route may be preferable when region, IAM, billing consolidation, or enterprise controls dominate.
How to read the price result
The table intentionally shows both direct and hosted evidence. It does not merge a fixed request with a per-second offer, and it does not call one channel cheapest until three exact configurations pass review.
Related model price comparisons
Use this evidence safely
A recorded price is not a complete production quote. Open the source, reproduce the exact configuration, and include retries, failed work, storage, egress, support, rate limits, and downstream processing in total cost.
Questions developers ask
What makes two Veo offers comparable?
The model version, generation mode, tier, resolution, duration, audio setting, region, and billing unit must match.
Does APIDir name a cheapest provider on this page?
Only when at least three explicitly reviewed provider offers are fresh, publication-permitted, and within the same published comparison scope. Stale or mismatched evidence cannot support that claim.
How should I confirm a budget?
Open the linked provider source, verify the configuration, then calculate your own successful and failed workload volume.
