Google Veo vs Moonvalley Marey (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Google Veo if

• Fits if you already pay for a Google AI plan and want video thrown in
• Works for developers who want to call a video model from their own apps

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a video tool on its own, as Veo is sold only inside Google AI plans
• Tight if you stay on the free Gemini plan, because video isn't listed there
• Watch out: limits are given as multiples of the free plan, never a number of clips
• Watch out: developer pricing for the Veo API sits on a page we could not read

Pick Moonvalley Marey if

• Fits if you work at a studio or business that can arrange access
• Makes sense if licensed training data matters for your project

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you are an individual wanting to sign up, as self-serve plans are being retired
• Not for you if you want a public price, since none is listed
• Watch out: the company's own API is only a waitlist
• Watch out: on fal.ai and ComfyUI the pricing is set by those platforms

Google Veo

• Veo is not sold separately; it is part of Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra, so the price covers the whole bundle.
• The free Gemini plan does not list video generation; the page names it from AI Plus upward.
• The page gives usage limits as multiples of the Free plan, not as a number of videos.
• Developer pricing for the Veo API sits on a separate page we could not read.

Moonvalley Marey

• Moonvalley says it is retiring its Standard, Plus and Pro self-serve plans, with auto-renewals stopping on March 23, 2026, so no public price is listed.
• Access is now through enterprise and studio partnerships; the company's own public API is only a waitlist.
• The site links to Marey on fal.ai and in ComfyUI, where pricing is set by those platforms.

Google Veo

Video with native audio

Veo 3.1 generates video together with sound, from a written prompt, according to Google DeepMind's model page.

Try it in the Gemini app

Video generation is part of the Gemini app on paid Google AI plans, with usage limits that grow by tier.

Google Flow

Google's creative studio for building scenes and stories; each plan includes a monthly allowance of Flow credits.

Build with Veo

The model page links developers to a route for building with Veo in their own products.

Speed-focused variant

Google's subscription page mentions Veo 3.1 Lite, a version it says prioritizes speed and efficiency.

Moonvalley Marey

Text and image to video

Marey generates video from a prompt or a still image, aimed at cinematic detail, motion and lighting.

Camera control

Direct camera moves from a single image; Moonvalley says the model turns the 2D scene into a 3D environment.

Motion and pose transfer

Pull timing and movement from a reference video and apply it to new subjects or scenes.

Trajectory control and keyframing

Draw a path for an object, or place reference images on a timeline so the model generates the transitions.

Licensed training data

Moonvalley says the model was trained only on licensed footage, with no scraped content and no user submissions.
