Billing units, duration formats and audio pricing differ per model, there is no free tier, and a person must sign up in a browser and buy credit.\n\n**Google Veo.** Audio on every Veo 3.1 clip, up to 4K on Veo 3.1 and Fast. All three Veo 3.1 previews shut down on the Gemini API on 2026-10-22.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### fal video models\n\n1. Submit to `queue.fal.run`, keep the `request_id`, then poll `status_url` or set `fal_webhook`. Never resubmit to check progress, because each submit is a new billable job\n2. Read `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before a call. `duration` is the string `\"5\"` on Kling, `\"8s\"` on Veo 3.1 and an integer on Wan 3.0\n3. Set `generate_audio` on purpose. It defaults to true and raises the Kling v3 Pro price from $0.112 to $0.168 a second and Veo 3.1 from $0.20 to $0.40\n4. Check `metadata.status` in `https://api.fal.ai/v1/models` before pinning an endpoint. Deprecated endpoints carry no removal date\n5. Use an API-scope key, never an ADMIN key. A new account runs 2 requests at once, so long video jobs queue behind each other\n6. The MCP relay has no server-side approval gate. Call `get_pricing` and get the owner's approval before `submit_job`\n\n### Google Veo\n\n1. Move off `veo-3.1-*-preview` before 2026-10-22. Use `gemini-omni-1.1-flash` on the Gemini API or the GA Veo IDs on Vertex AI\n2. Call `predictLongRunning`, then poll the operation name about every 10 seconds until `done` is true. Jobs take 11 seconds to 6 minutes\n3. Download the video within 2 days. The server deletes it after that\n4. Set `durationSeconds` to 8 for 1080p, 4K or reference images. Shorter clips aren't supported there\n5. In the EU, UK, Switzerland and MENA image-to-video only accepts `personGeneration` set to `allow_adult`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, fal video models or Google Veo?\n\nfal video models scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against Google Veo's 60.4 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Google Veo leads on security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Can an agent call fal video models and Google Veo without installing anything?\n\nYes. fal video models has a hosted endpoint at https://queue.fal.run and Google Veo at https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-google-veo.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-google-veo.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"fal-video\", \"b\": \"google-veo\"}`.
