Veo 3.1 price per second on Runway and Luma
How this page is made. Every price comes from the vendor’s own pricing page, read on the date above. We have not compared the quality of the videos, so this page is about cost only. Some links are affiliate links; see the disclosure.
Veo 3.1 is Google’s video model, but you can run it through other platforms. We read two of them. This page shows what each charges per second of video.
runway api: pay as you go
Runway’s API sells credits at $0.01 each and lists Veo 3.1 by credits per second.
| model | credits per second | dollars per second |
|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1, with audio | 40 | $0.40 |
| Veo 3.1, without audio | 20 | $0.20 |
| Veo 3.1 Fast, with audio | 15 | $0.15 |

luma: monthly credits
Luma lists Veo 3.1 at 140 credits per second at both 720p and 1080p. What that costs depends on your plan, because credits are cheaper on larger plans.
| plan | monthly price | credits | dollars per second |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $30 | 10,000 | $0.42 |
| Pro | $90 | 40,000 | $0.315 |
| Ultra | $300 | 150,000 | $0.28 |
Luma’s page doesn’t say whether the 140 credits include audio, so don’t compare this row directly with the with-audio price above until you’ve checked.
what we left out
- Google’s own Gemini API pricing page did not list Veo on 2026-11-13. It listed a different video model priced per token, so there is no first-party Veo number here.
- We did not compare output quality or clip length limits.
