Veo 3.1 Image to Video: Tiers, Audio and Pricing
How the three Veo 3.1 tiers differ, what the native audio is good for, and how credits are charged.
Veo 3.1 Lite vs Fast vs Quality
Lite is the entry tier with the lowest per-second credit rate, which makes it the right place to test a prompt. Fast prioritises turnaround and sits in the middle on cost. Quality is the top tier, aimed at final output with the strongest camera control and detail.
Native Audio in Practice
Because the model produces sound with the picture, short sequences can skip a separate audio step. It works best for ambience, impacts and simple speech; for anything layered or precisely timed, plan a post pass.

Every tier is billed in credits per second of output, with the rate rising from Lite to Quality. The exact total appears in the picker before you generate, and credit packs are one-time purchases with no renewal.
