Veo 3.1 is Google's short-clip video model, tuned for polished 8-second shots with native audio. If you want to know what Veo 3.1 actually costs to use in 2026, the short answer is: it depends on how you access it. Google's official Vertex AI charges pay-per-use and needs a cloud account, API aggregators bill per second of output, and consumer apps bundle it into a monthly subscription.
On Kensa, Veo 3.1 is priced with a single, predictable credit cost — 13 credits per 8-second video — and those credits are shared across every model on the platform. This page breaks down the real per-video cost, compares access options honestly, and shows why Kensa is the cheapest entry point for Veo 3.1.
How Veo 3.1 pricing works
On Kensa, Veo 3.1 is billed per video, not per second: every 8-second generation costs a flat 13 credits. Native audio is included at no extra charge, and there is no separate fee for HD output on paid plans. No plan adds a watermark. Credits come from your plan or a one-time pack and are shared across all models — Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 1.5, Kling 3 (under maintenance), and Grok — so you never buy model-specific quotas.
