Google Flow Credit Pricing and Google AI Pro Plan Benefits

AI Video Production using Veo 3 model though Google Flow has been a wonderful experience! You can try it now for free!

• AI Filmmaking Access: Flow lets creators generate cinematic short-form videos with Veo 3.
• 1,000 Credits Monthly: Subscriptions provide credits usable across Flow and Whisk.
• Bundled Perks: Includes Gemini AI tools, NotebookLM upgrades, and 2TB Google storage.

Just this morning, I got curious about Veo 3 video generation tool, which is now available through Google Flow. As someone who enjoys experimenting with creative tech, I tried it out and quickly found myself hooked. The first batch of videos I made were short, just around eight seconds each, but they looked surprisingly impressive. The best part was that my first 100 credits were free.

But here’s the catch: every 8-second video eats up 20 credits. That meant I could only generate five videos before hitting the limit. Once my free credits ran out, I realized I needed to decide whether subscribing to Google AI Pro was worth it. After all, making more content with Veo 3 model seemed like a great way to boost creativity for TechPinas and beyond.

You can also try out AI video production with Veo 3 model by going to labs.google/flow/about on your web browser and tapping on "Create with Flow" button.

The Google AI Pro Subscription

Instead of buying credits individually (since Google doesn’t offer a per-credit pricing system), the only way to keep using Flow and Veo 3 is through a subscription. Google calls this the AI Pro monthly plan, which normally costs PHP 1,100 in the Philippines.

Once you've used up all your 100 free credits,  you can tap on the Subscribe button which will take you to the Google AI Pro subscription page to get more credits, among others. There's a promo now so the first month is free but the succeeding ones will be paid. You can cancel anytime, though.

The good news? Right now, Google is offering a promo where your first month is absolutely free, and you can cancel anytime. For creators who just want to test the waters without immediately spending, this offer is pretty generous.

What You Get with Google AI Pro

Here’s a closer look at what’s bundled into the AI Pro plan:

- Flow: This is Google’s AI filmmaking tool where Veo 3 shines. It helps you generate cinematic scenes and creative story visuals, perfect for content creators, digital marketers, or even hobbyists experimenting with video AI.

- 1,000 AI credits monthly: These credits can be used not just on Flow but also on Whisk, which expands creative possibilities even more. With each 8-second video costing 20 credits, that’s about 50 videos a month.

- Gemini app: AI Pro unlocks expanded access to Gemini 2.5, including Deep Research on Gemini 2.5 Pro. You also get video generation features and tighter integration into apps you may already use.

- NotebookLM: A powerful research and writing assistant with 5x more audio overviews, expanded notebook capacity, and collaboration tools. For students, researchers, or professionals, this feature alone can be a productivity boost.

- Whisk: This adds higher limits for image-to-video creation with Veo 3, expanding what you can do with visuals beyond just short clips.

- Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more: Direct AI access inside everyday Google apps means smarter drafts, summaries, and quick assistance where you need it.

- 2 TB Google One storage: As with other Google One plans, this subscription includes generous storage for Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Drive. For users already paying separately for extra storage, this could be a cost-saving bundle.

Why Flow and Veo 3 Matter

AI-generated video is still in its early stages, but tools like Flow and Veo 3 model show just how far the technology has come. What stood out to me during my first run was how polished the videos looked despite being AI-generated. I could imagine scenarios where content creators, educators, or even small businesses use these short clips to grab attention online.

For Filipino creators, the 1,100 PHP monthly price point might initially feel steep, but when you consider the bundled benefits, it becomes more reasonable. Even if you’re only after the video generation tools, the free trial lets you gauge whether Flow is worth making part of your workflow.

Video Production Using AI Rocks!

My free 100 credits gave me just a taste of what Flow and Veo 3 can do, and honestly, it left me wanting more. Google’s subscription model might not please everyone since there’s no pay-per-credit option, but the bundled AI perks make the plan quite compelling.

If you’re curious like I was, the free month promo is a great way to dive in without immediate commitment. Whether you’re making short social media clips, experimenting with AI for creative projects, or looking for all-in-one productivity tools with extra storage, Google AI Pro gives you more than just video credits—it offers a whole ecosystem of AI-powered creativity.

For now, I’m leaning toward subscribing after my free trial, not just for the videos, but for the full suite of tools Google has tucked into this plan. It feels like a glimpse of where everyday creativity and productivity are headed, powered by AI.
