Google Flow is where Google puts its Veo and Gemini Omni video models in front of creators. The free tier is unusually generous: Google lists 50 daily Flow credits, Veo 3.1 Lite, Omni 1.2 Flash clips of up to 10 seconds, and the core modes of Text to Video, Frames to Video and Ingredients to Video, along with video-to-video editing and Scenebuilder. Google AI Plus at $7.99 per month adds 200 monthly credits, Omni clips from 11 to 15 seconds, video extension and 720p and 1080p upscaling. Pro at $19.99 raises the monthly credits to 1,000 and folds in the Gemini app, YouTube Premium Lite and 5 TB of storage, which matters if you would pay for those anyway. The limits are clear: 4K upscaling waits until Ultra at $99.99, and Google warns that prices may vary by market. For most people making short clips from prompts, it is the best place to start.
