Figures verified July 2026 against the sources listed below.
Google sells full Veo 3.1 access through Google AI Ultra at $249.99 a month. The $19.99 AI Pro plan includes only a limited trial of Veo 3.1 Lite plus capped monthly credits. And Sora, the obvious alternative a year ago, was discontinued on April 26, 2026.
FORGR is the practical alternative: the same Veo 3.1 model, at 720p, 1080p, and 4K with audio, included in every paid plan from $9.99 a month. An 8-second 720p clip costs 440 credits, about $3.50 at the Starter rate, and the full price list is published before you generate. You also get 21 other models on the same wallet, including Kling v3 multi-shot and Seedance 1.5 Pro, plus a Character Studio that keeps one face consistent across every clip. Credits never expire.

Real FORGR output.
Every route, honestly.
If you want the honest full picture, here are the real routes to Veo-class video in July 2026, including the ones that are not us:
FORGR
Full Veo 3.1 up to 4K with audio on every paid plan from $9.99, plus Kling v3, Seedance 1.5 Pro, and 19 more models on one never-expiring credit wallet. Built for narrative creators who need one character consistent across shots.
Best for: Story creators who want Veo quality at an indie price
Google AI Ultra
The native route. Full Veo 3.1 inside Google's Flow tooling with the deepest Gemini integration, at $249.99 a month.
Best for: Heavy Veo users already inside the Google ecosystem
Higgsfield
Multi-model platform with a big preset library. Veo access starts on the Plus plan at $39 a month billed annually; note that unused credits are forfeited on cancellation.
Best for: Preset-driven social content
Runway
A polished video suite built on Runway's own model family rather than Veo. Strong editing tools, different look.
Best for: Editors who want an integrated video workflow
Kling (standalone)
Kuaishou's model with excellent motion. A genuinely different engine rather than Veo access; FORGR also carries Kling v3 if you want both in one place.
Best for: Motion-heavy clips and action
If you came from Sora
OpenAI discontinued the Sora app and web experience on April 26, 2026, with the API following on September 24, 2026. If you are migrating a Sora workflow:
- +Veo 3.1 is the closest quality-equivalent model available today, and FORGR includes it at 720p, 1080p, and 4K with audio on every paid plan.
- +Your character work survives the move: design your cast once in the Character Studio and reuse it across every model.
- +Export nothing twice: images, video, upscaling, and LoRA training run on one credit wallet that never expires.
