Veo 3 API cost at volume: what 10, 100 and 10,000 clips work out to
One clip on Veo 3 costs 100 credits at default settings. At the Enterprise pack rate that scales like this:
| Volume | Credits | USD |
|---|---|---|
| 10 clips | 1,000 | $9.99 |
| 100 clips | 10,000 | $99.88 |
| 1,000 clips | 100,000 | $998.75 |
| 10,000 clips | 1,000,000 | $9987.50 |
The pack ladder changes all of these
Credits are not linearly priced, so the same call costs different amounts depending on what you bought:
| Pack | Per credit | One clip |
|---|---|---|
| Basic ($6.9 / 500) | $0.0138 | $1.380 |
| Standard ($14.9 / 1200) | $0.0124 | $1.242 |
| Premium ($34.9 / 3000) | $0.0116 | $1.163 |
| Enterprise ($79.9 / 8000) | $0.0100 | $0.999 |
The lever that matters most
Render at 720p while iterating. It costs exactly half, so the same budget buys twice the attempts. Only the final pass needs 1080p.
What is not in these numbers
Failed jobs. They refund in full, so they do not appear on the bill — but they do cost you wall-clock time and a retry. How often that happens is not something this page measures; see job state failed and UPSTREAM_FAIL.
