Veo 3.1 Lite: 1,000 Flow credits vs per-second pricing on Sume

A CostGoat guide reports that Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month includes 1,000 Flow credits, about 100 Veo 3.1 Lite videos, with each generation at most 8 seconds. Sume does not list Veo ids. Its closest Google entry is gemini-omni-flash-1.1, which is priced per output second, and you read the exact price from the catalog.

The reported numbers

All figures below are from the CostGoat guide. The per-clip range in the last row is simple arithmetic on those figures, not a quoted price.

What Sume offers instead

Sume's Google video entry is Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, gemini-omni-flash-1.1. It makes 3 to 10 second clips at 360p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, in 16:9 or 9:16, with native synced audio always on. Billing is provider list times 1.25 per output second by resolution.

Every model's price is listed in pricing_skus on GET /v1/videos/models, so you do not have to rely on a blog post for Sume's number.

How to compare

A subscription with credits and a per-second API are different shapes. To compare fairly, decide how many seconds you need, multiply by the per-second price for the resolution you will actually ship, and add the cost of retries. A plan is cheaper only if you use most of the credits.

Sume reserves the cost on submit from your workspace balance, and usage.cost on the result is the billed amount, so you can check a real clip rather than a price list.
