Every model is billed at its provider's price with no markup, from one credit balance: 1 credit is $0.01. varg's fee is on the top-up, not on the run: 5.5% of the credits you buy ($0.80 at the least), or 8% for a team workspace. Pricing

Every model is billed at its provider's price with no markup, from one credit balance: 1 credit is $0.01. For the exact price of a request before you run it, send the same body to POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/estimate.
- Which Veo models are on varg?
- 3: Veo 3.1 (from $0.80 per run), Veo 3.1 Fast (from $0.40 per run) and Veo 3.1 Lite (from $0.12 per run). Each has its own page with the parameters and a call to copy.
- Which Veo models take an image?
- All 3: Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 Lite. The catalog lists image to video for them; pass the image as a URL in "files".
- What is the longest clip the Veo models make?
- 8 seconds, on Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 Lite, by the models' input schemas.
- Which Veo models generate audio?
- All 3: Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 Lite. Set "audio": true in the request and the video comes with a native audio track.
- How long do Veo requests take?
- Typically from about 45 s (Veo 3.1 Lite) to about 2 min (Veo 3.1), by the catalog's estimates for each model's fastest route. The API answers at once with a job id, so nothing waits on an open connection while it runs.
- How do I call the Veo API?
- Send POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/video/call with the header "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" and a JSON body that includes "model", for example "model": "veo_3_1". The call answers 202 with a job right away. Poll GET https://api.varg.ai/v2/jobs/{id} until "status" is "completed", then read output.outputs[0].url, or pass options.webhook_url to be called back.
- Can I use Veo from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
- Yes. Add the varg MCP server (https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client and sign in with varg, with no API key to paste. The agent runs a model with call_tool, passing tool "video" and the model id, for example "model": "veo_3_1".
