Q: Credits for Veo 3
Veo 3 is currently very expensive. Straico charging 22000 credits for 10 sec video. You are charging 208 credits for 10 sec video. Now, 8‑second, 720p VEO3 video with audio costs about $6 via API. Even jogg AI has not given veo 3 for LTD users. So, how Qolaba is sustainable LTD at this price ? Or is there any hidden restricitons to use veo3?

Aug 20, 2025A: Firstly, the credit value differs across platforms, so direct comparisons can be tricky. At Qolaba, we’re currently able to offer Veo 3 at lower credit costs because we are part of the Google for Startups grant program.
What happens after the grant ends? That’s not happening any time soon, and if there are any changes, users will be notified well in advance. In the meantime, we’re also working on ways to optimize credit costs further to keep things sustainable and fair.

They state to be in the Google Startup Program, providing a discounted API access for next 10-12 months. This likely explains their current pricing. Example:
- Kling: 650 credits (regular API cost: $1.40)
- Veo 3 Fast: 104 credits (regular API cost: $3.20)
Key takeaway is that Veo 3's low credit cost will likely have to rise significantly to reflect its true cost once the Google discount ends.
tryabpPLUSYes, that i understand. But once startups credits are over, google will charge discounted rates or normal rates?
