Veo 3.1 Pricing (2026): Cost + Cheapest Way to Use It
On Kensa, Veo 3.1 costs a flat 13 credits per video (4-8 second clips) — no per-second surcharge and audio included. Paid plans start at $9.90/mo for 280 credits (~21 Veo 3.1 videos), and every new account gets 15 free credits (1 free video) with no credit card. That makes Kensa the cheapest, simplest way to use Veo 3.1: full web UI, multi-model access, and commercial use, with no cloud account required.
Veo 3.1 is Google's short-clip video model, tuned for polished 4-8 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 video regardless of whether the clip is 4, 6, or 8 seconds — 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 generation costs a flat 13 credits whether you render a 4s, 6s, or 8s clip. Native audio is included at no extra charge, and there is no separate fee for HD output on paid plans (1080p, watermark-free). 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, and Grok — so you never buy model-specific quotas.
